摘要: ABSTRACTBackground: Hitherto immunological determinates in Lebanese patients with rhinitis have not been investigated.Objective: To identify causative allergens allergic and determine possible correlation's among serum allergen specific antibody, polyclonal IgE, IL-4, IL-5 peripheral eosinophil levels.Methods: One hundred thirteen a long lasting history of nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing itching were investigated. Serum antibodies using panel 10 potential allergens, IL-4 levels determined by enzyme immunoassays. Polyclonal IgE estimated an immunochromatographic assay counts Coulter STKS counter.Results: Based on the presence allergen-specific antibodies, 74 considered to etiology. elevated 41 while other 33 had normal levels.
