    Diagnosing chronic rhinitis involves skin testing, RAST, and nasal provocation tests. Nasal provocation tests offer the most accurate allergen identification directly on the affected area, though standardization is needed for definitive recommendations.

    Area of Science:

    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Chronic rhinitis diagnosis relies on identifying specific allergens.
    • Various diagnostic methods exist, including skin testing, RAST, and nasal provocation tests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the accuracy of different diagnostic methods for allergic chronic rhinitis.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of nasal provocation tests in identifying dominant allergens.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on diagnostic procedures for allergic rhinitis.
    • Analysis of data comparing skin testing, RAST, and nasal provocation tests.
    • Focus on tests performed directly on the nasal mucosa (shock organ).

    Main Results:

    • Nasal provocation tests provide the most accurate assessment of clinically relevant allergens.

  • These tests also best characterize rhinitis intensity and type.
  • Correlations between different diagnostic methods are not consistently reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nasal provocation tests are currently the most precise method for diagnosing allergic factors in chronic rhinitis.
    • Lack of standardization in test techniques and allergen extracts prevents recommending a single gold standard test.
    • Further research is needed to establish standardized protocols for reliable allergy diagnosis in chronic rhinitis.
