    Summary

    Allergy was confirmed in 54% of perennial rhinitis patients, with Bermuda grass as the most common allergen. Blood eosinophils and IgE tests are valuable for assessing perennial rhinitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Perennial rhinitis is a common condition with unclear pathogenesis.
    • Understanding the role of allergens and diagnostic tests is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the pathogenesis of perennial rhinitis.
    • To evaluate the clinical utility of various laboratory tests in diagnosing perennial rhinitis.
    • To identify common allergens contributing to perennial rhinitis in Saudi Arabia.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 100 consecutive perennial rhinitis patients.
    • Comprehensive laboratory investigations including blood eosinophil and IgE level assessments.
    • Allergen identification, with a focus on Bermuda grass.

    Main Results:

    • Allergy was confirmed in 54% of patients.
    • Bermuda grass was identified as the most prevalent allergen.
    • Eosinophilic rhinitis was present in 12% of cases.
    • Blood eosinophil and IgE investigations proved valuable in patient assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Allergy, particularly to Bermuda grass, plays a significant role in perennial rhinitis in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
    • Blood eosinophil and IgE testing are recommended for assessing perennial rhinitis patients.
    • Further research is needed to explore the connection between pollen allergy and perennial rhinitis in the region.
