Abstract:
The contact to chinchilla in households may lead to sensibilization and allergic rhinitis in children and adults. In nasal provocation tests on 6 sensibilized patients suffering on perennial rhinitis and/or asthma one child and three adults showed positive reactions with chinchilla hair extract. Allergen avoidance is recommended.
