[Provoking intranasal tests in frequent allergic rhinopathies (author's transl)].
The intranasal test was made on 100 patients with possible allergy to house dust, house dust mite and fungi. The results of 64 patients could be discussed. Till now a nasal obstruction with arhinomanometric flow-volume diminution of 20% after application of allergene was considered as a positive provocation. This procedure seems to give too many false positive results. A new method to evaluate the rhinoma nometric results was elaborated.
