Aim: to reveal the clinical and laboratory features of rhinitis in pregnant women.
Patients and Methods: the study group consisted of 30 women with rhinitis symptoms that passed within two weeks after delivery. The control group consisted of 23 healthy pregnant women. The study included: medical history, ENT-organs examination, blood tests (complete blood count, TSH, non-specific IgE), nasal cytology examination, the study of nasal mucociliary transport and nasal IgE, nasal microbiology.
Results: the laboratory study analysis revealed a significant increase in white blood cells in the group of pregnant women with rhinitis (average 8,5±1,3×109/l) compared with the control group (average 6,7±0,3×109/l). There were no significant differences in the indices in two groups. Respiratory epithelial clearance was comparable in 2 groups and was within the normal range. An increase in leukocytes and neutrophils count in the rhinocytogram was revealed.
Сonclusion: rhinitis symptoms in pregnant women were more often manifested in the first trimester of pregnancy. There were no statistically significant differences in eosinophils in the nasal cell-smear in pregnant women with rhinitis. Disorders of respiratory epithelial clearance in pregnancy rhinitis have not been revealed.
Keywords: rhinitis, clinical and laboratory features, respiratory epithelial clearance, rhinocytogram, pregnancy.
