title: [Comparative value of skin tests and IgE antibodies in the serum in patients with chronic vasomotor rhinitis].
abstract: In order to assess values of skin testing and determination of pulp, as a credible indicator considering sensibilisation of an organism, 61 patients suffering from chronic vasomotor rhinitis were tested. By application of "prick" test, skin test results were positive in 30 patients and negative in 31. Presence of specific IgE antibodies in the serum was assessed in all patients by "ELISA" test. In 51 patients (83.6%) both kinds of findings corresponded. In 26 patients both skin parameters were negative while in 10 patients (16.40%) findings did not correspond. It was established that for Dermatophagodies pteronyssinus specific IgE antibodies are determined in serum when pap is 5 mm wide. Grasp pollen always caused strong local reactions, regularly more than 10 mm. Considerably high levels of IgE antibodies was also established while other pollens did not show such correspondence.
