Bacteria-specific IgE in patients with nasal polyposis. A preliminary report.
Sixty-one patients exhibiting chronic nasal polyposis had their conditions evaluated by radioallergosorbent tests to determine the presence of bacteria-specific serum IgE. Fifty-nine patients exhibited positive serum IgE to at least one of 11 bacteria tested. There are several implications of the collected data.
