A comparison of skin test reactions in allergic rhinitis and patients with asthma/rhinitis.

A comparison of skin test reactions in allergic rhinitis patients and cases of combined allergic rhinitis and asthma shows a significantly higher proportion of positive reactions to all allergens tested in the asthma/rhinitis patients. Both groups of patients exhibited as expected more positive reactions than a group of controls with house dust mite, and house dust eliciting the highest proportion of reactions. The asthma/rhinitis patients also showed a higher ratio of strong (grades III and IV) to weak (grades I and II) reactions than the allergic rhinitis group. This indicates a stronger allergic sensitivity state in the former group and may be of relevance in deciding the modalities of management.
