    Summary

    Cat fur is the most common allergen in perennial allergic rhinitis. Enzyme immunoassay and skin prick tests show significant correlation for allergen detection in allergic rhinitis patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Perennial rhinitis affects a significant portion of the population.
    • Identifying common allergens is crucial for effective management.
    • Diagnostic testing accuracy for perennial rhinitis requires evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify common allergens in patients with perennial rhinitis.
    • To assess the diagnostic value of various tests for perennial rhinitis.
    • To evaluate the correlation between different allergen testing methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 95 patients with perennial rhinitis.
    • Allergen identification through various investigations.
    • Comparison of enzyme immunoassay and skin prick test results.

    Main Results:

    • 94% of patients were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis.
    • Cat fur was identified as the most frequent allergen.
    • Grass pollen was a less common allergen (18%) compared to European prevalence.
    • X-rays of paranasal sinuses showed limited utility in routine diagnosis.
    • Strong correlation observed between enzyme immunoassay and skin prick test results.

    Conclusions:

    • Cat fur is a primary allergen in this perennial rhinitis cohort.
    • Enzyme immunoassay and skin prick tests are reliable for allergen detection.
    • Routine sinus X-rays are not recommended for perennial rhinitis diagnosis.
