Abstract
Allergic Rhinitis, a prevalent and chronic respiratory ailment, significantly impacts quality of life, academic performance, productivity and the economy. Its close link with Asthma further emphasizes its importance. Recent findings indicate a rise in allergic diseases linked to low serum vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with allergic rhinitis and asthma. This study involved 124 subjects aged 6‐18 years. Sixty Two individuals with Allergic Rhinitis were selected from the outpatient department, while 62 healthy controls were chosen based on predefined criteria. Vitamin D levels were measured using the ECLIA method. The discerned vitamin D levels exhibited a statistically significant reduction within the cohort afflicted by Allergic Rhinitis when contrasted against the control group. The outcomes gleaned from this present inquiry distinctly underscore the diminished levels of vitamin D evident in instances of Allergic Rhinitis as opposed to the control group. This diminished presence of vitamin D serves to heighten the susceptibility to allergic rhinitis.
