[Cytology of nasal mucous membrane in pollen allergy]

In 33 patients with pollen allergy the cytograms were made by means of half-quantity method during the acute phase and remission. In comparison with healthy mucous membrane there were a large number of migration cells with eosinophils of 46%. In some cases there were also basophils. In superficial layer prevailed the cuboid cells (mean X = 43%) and the lower number of parabasal cells. During the remission as the deviation from the norm there were only the large number of migration cells with eosinophils.
