Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of allergic disease among elementary school students in rural and urban areas. Methods: In this study, 1,513 elementary students (1,163 in urban areas, 350 in rural areas) were surveyed. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage of allergic symptoms and $X^2$ test was used to identify differences in the prevalence of allergic symptoms between urban and rural area students. The SAS program was used in the data analysis. Results: There were significant differences in the prevalence of allergic disease according to whether there was a family member with a prior history of allergy symptoms. 48.7% of surveyed students (49.4% in urban, 46.3% in rural) had allergic symptoms. Allergic rhinitis was the most frequent allergic symptom in both urban and rural students. Conclusion: These results suggest that there is a need to prevent and manage allergies among elementary students. The family history should be considered an important factor when a program for allergy prevention and management is developed. Interventions are needed in both areas, especially for students with allergic rhinitis.

Background : Allergic rhinitis is found in approximately 20% of the general population. And the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in the pediatric population also appears to be rising. Despite allergic rhinitis reportedly occurs very frequently, this disease is often overlooked or undertreated. The oriental medicine, allergic rhinitis is belong to the BiGu, BunChe. The symptoms are watery rhinorrhea, sneezing and nasal obstruction. The cause of disease is the weak of lung, spleen and kidney, and invasion in to nasal cavity of Poong Han etc a wrong air. Objective : To allergic rhinitis patients, we use herbal medicine and acupuncture treated. To demonstrate the effect of oriental medicine therapy in the allergic rhinitis before and after treatment. Materials and methods: Thirty five patients (18 male and 17 female) treated in our hospital between February 2001 and October 2001 were studied. Ages ranged from 10 to 56 years (mean age : 27 years). Seventy seven patients had a underlying family history (allergy or sinusitis of parents or brothers). In the past history, 63% patients have atopic disease. Illness period was from 1 month to 20 years (mean period : 5.7 year). Mean duration of treatment were 39 days. Gamihyunggyeyungyo-tang was administered mainly. Result : The symptoms of allergic rhinitis were nasal obstruction(94%), rhinorrhea(86%), itching(80%), sneezing(60%), eye itching(17%), headache(11%), nose bleeding(8%) and nose pain(6%). Compared with before and after treatment, the fourth symptoms of allergic rhinitis - sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction and itching- improved significant statistically. (significant <0.005) Conclusion : We know that herbal medicine therapy and acupuncture were the effective treatment of Allergic rhinitis.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to summarize the differential diagnosis between allergic and nonallergic rhinitis and suggest management. Methods : We reviewed the current update of medical history and physical examination for allergic and nonallergic rhinitis. Then we analyzed clinical characteristics according to onset age, gender incidence and state of nasal symptoms, etc. Results : 1. Patients with nonallergic rhinitis tend to develop symptoms at a later age(>35 years of age), and there is a female-to-male incidence ratio for nonallergic rhinitis of 2:1 to 3:1. 2. Patients with nonallergic rhinitis report nasal congestion, nasal rhinorrhea and more often report postnasal drip rather than sneezing and itching, which are predominant symptoms of allergic rhinitis. And the nasal mucosa in nonallergic rhinitis usually looks normal. 3. Patients with nonallergic rhinitis have few complaints of concomitant symptoms of allergic symptoms and the absence of other atopic diseases in the patient or in the family supports the diagnosis of nonallergic rhinitis. 4. Common triggers of nonallergic rhinitis are nonspecific irritant exposures and many patients with nonallergic rhinitis find that antihistamines have no benefit. Conclusions : The differential diagnosis between allergic and nonallergic rhinitis is clinical and relies on a detailed medical history and physical examination.

Objectives: This study examined the relationship between the presence of allergic rhinitis and the nutritional intake levels of Korean infants. Methods: The study involved a total of 1,214 infant subjects aged 1~5 months from the 2013~2016 KNHNES (Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). The Subjects were classified into two groups based on the presence of allergic rhinitis: Non-allergic rhinitis infants (NARI, n=1,088) and allergic rhinitis infants (ARI, n=126). The general characteristics and family history of allergies, nutrient intake status, nutrient supplement intake, and breast milk and baby food start period data of the two groups were compared. All statistical analyses accounted for the complex sampling design effect and sampling weights. Results: The mean age was 0.5 years old in the ARI group compared to the NARI group. In the residence, the rate of urban was higher in ARI. The family history revealed a significant difference between the two groups, particularly those of mothers rather than fathers. The nutrient intake levels were high in energy, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, riboflavin, niacin, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Breastfeeding was significantly higher in the ARI group than in the NARI group. The baby food start period was 0.3 months earlier in NARI group than in ARI group. The height, body weight, and birth weight were higher in ARI group than NARI group. The result of Odds ratio analysis showed that excess energy, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin, and niacin intake increases the risk of allergic rhinitis. Conclusions: These results can be used as data to develop nutrition guidelines for allergic rhinitis infants.

Allergic disorders may be defined as the abnormal reactions to proteins. Cow milk is the first foreign protein which the human being would contact postnatally. Serveral studies suggested that this contact had certain effects on the development o allergic disorders with great controlversies. Seven hundred seventy eight students from middle class in Seoul, aged 6 to 17 wears, were surveyed to delineate the relationshpis between the cow's milk contacts in infancy and the subsequent development of allergic disorders in Koran population. Questionaire were included the nursing patterns in infancy, the past medical history of asthma or wheezy bronchitis and the presence of infantile eczema. Skin tests to three common resporatory allergens in Korea(house dust, house dust mite; D. farinae, D. ptoeronssinus) were performed. The positivity was determined by the wheal size larger than that to histamine. 70.2% of whole mateials was fed by breast milk, 13.1% by cow's milk and 16.7% by mixed nutsing. From the obsevation of nursing patterns by (table 2), we find that the number of breast milk group has been decreasing in 1970's. 10.1% of breast milk group(BMG) had wheezy bronchitis, 8.8% of cow's milk group(CMG) and 11.5% of mixed nursing group(MNG). Infantile eczema history was positive in 27.8% of BMG, in 26.5% of CMG and in 29% of MNG. Skin test positivity was 23.8% in BMG, 25.5% in CMG and 26.2% in MNG. There prevalences of allergic disorders in each nursing group did not reveal any statistically significant differences. In conclusion, nursing patterns in infancy do not seem to have certain effects on the development of allergic disorders such as infantile eczema. wheezv bronchitis or skin test positivity.
