title: [Humoral immunity in nasal allergy].
abstract: In this work, several immunological parameters were studied in a group of 40 patients diagnosed as having allergic rhinitis. As a control group we assembled 20 patients with cholinergic rhinitis. A significative increase in the level of serum IgM was detected in the patients with cholinergic rhinitis. The differences observed between other parameters (lymphocyte count, blastic transformation with PHA and Con-A), were not significative. We discuss the results.
