Nasal hyperreactivity to newspapers is common. This study found that paper dust, not printing ink, triggers symptoms in patients with vasomotor rhinitis.

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Nasal hyperreactivity is a common issue, particularly when reading newspapers.
  • Vasomotor rhinitis patients frequently experience these symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the causative agent in newspaper-induced nasal hyperreactivity.
  • To differentiate the effects of printing ink versus paper dust.

Main Methods:

  • 15 patients with vasomotor rhinitis and 6 healthy volunteers were exposed to newspaper printing ink and paper dust.
  • Nasal symptom scores and rhinomanometry were used to measure reactions.

Main Results:

  • Patients with vasomotor rhinitis showed significant nasal reactions to paper dust.
  • No reactions were observed in response to printing ink in patients.

  • The control group exhibited no adverse effects from either substance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Paper dust is identified as the primary trigger for nasal hyperreactivity in newspapers.
    • This finding is crucial for understanding and managing environmental triggers in allergic rhinitis.
