title: Local nasal desensitization provoking systemic illness with proteinuria.
abstract: We report a case of allergic rhinitis with systemic illness and proteinuria, which was repeatedly provoked by nasal exposure to allergen. Local nasal desensitization resulted in remission of both rhinitis and systemic illness. The disease was associated with systemic complement fixation via the classical pathway.
