Abstract:
Basophil spontaneous histamine release test was performed in seventeen patients suffered from seasonal allergic rhinitis before, 2 weeks after immunotherapy and during pollen season. During pollen season at the same day non-specific bronchial hyperreactivity to histamine was estimated. Values of spontaneous basophil histamine release before immunotherapy were not different from control group but significantly increased after immunotherapy and during pollen season. There was no correlation between degree of nonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity and values of spontaneous histamine release from basophils.
