A study of the skin reaction to bacterial vaccine in perennial rhinitis.
Immediate and late skin reactions to a bacterial vaccine test were studied in perennial rhinitis patients. The incidence of late skin response was 17.6% when 0.1 ml of bacterial vaccine was tested. The incidence of positive immediate reaction was similar to the late reaction but there was no significant association between these two types of reaction. There was no correlation between the skin reaction to bacterial extract and the presence of pathogenic and microflora in the nose and throat of the patient. Statistical analysis also showed that there was no significant correlation between the results of the skin test to bacterial vaccine and to common allergenic extracts.
