Eosinophils Are More Strongly Relevant to Allergic Sensitization Than Basophils in Pediatric Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between eosinophils/basophils and allergic sensitization is not clear in pediatric adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between eosinophil/basophil counts and peripheral specific IgE levels, and identify the common allergens in children with ATH. We initially screened 1,031 consecutive children who underwent adenotonsillectomy in our department from June 2018 to June 2019, and finally included 676 children. The eosinophil count, basophil count, and levels of specific IgE were collected. Correlations between two quantitative variables were assessed using the Pearson or Spearman coefficient. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the odds ratios (ORs) for atopy after controlling for age, sex, vitami
