Objective To investigate the incidence and clinical features of allergic rhinitis in servicemen of Chinese People's Armed Police Force stationed at Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Methods Of 2294 soldiers and officers stationed at Urumqi from Jul. To Aug. 2010, 2194 were enrolled as subjects of present study, and all of them completed the questionnaires. The incidence of allergic rhinitis was assessed by history analysis, skin fast prick and allergen-specific IgE assay. Results Two hundred and three cases were diagnosed as allergic rhinitis, the overall incidence was 9. 3%. The incidence of allergic rhinitis was higher in officers (15. 9%) than in soldiers (P<0.05); seeds of Artemisia was the main allergen. Duration of service was positively correlated with the incidence of allergic rhinitis (r=0. 8, P<0.05). The incidence was also correlated with the place the servicemen stationed, showing a high to low tendency from suburbs (15. 8%), forested area (7. 9%) to urban area (5. 7/4, P<0. 05). The incidence was higher in servicemen from other regions (9.4%) than in soldiers of local origin (7. 2%, P<0. 05), and was higher in Han nationality (10. 5%) than in ethnic minorities (2.1%, P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of allergic rhinitis in servicemen of Chinese People's Armed Police Force stationed at Urumqi is 9.3%, and and the incidence varies with the loeality they station. The severity of allergic rhinitis symptom is positively correlated with the duration of service in Urumqi.%目的 调查乌鲁木齐地区武警官兵季节过敏性鼻炎患病情况并分析疾病特点,指导官兵对季节过敏性鼻炎进行防治.方法 2010年7-8月,以驻乌部队2294名官兵为研究对象(经问卷调查纳入研究2194例),通过病史、皮肤点刺试验及过敏原特异性IgE抗体检测,了解驻乌部队季节过敏性鼻炎患病情况.结果 确诊过敏性鼻炎203例,患病率为9.3％.干部及士官患病率高于战士(15.9％,4.9％,P＜0.05),过敏原主要为蒿属花粉.服役时间与过敏性鼻炎阳性例数呈正相关(r=0.8,P＜0.05).根据所在地不同,患病率由高到低分别为郊区/库区、林区、市区(15.8％,7.9％,5.7％,P＜0.05).内地入伍兵患病率高于本地入伍兵(9.4％,7.2％,P＜0.05).汉族官兵的患病率高于少数民族(10.5％,2.1％,P＜0.05).结论 乌鲁木齐地区武警官兵季节过敏性鼻炎患病率为9.3％,不同驻地官兵患病率有显著性差异.鼻炎症状随官兵在疆服役时间的延长而加重.
