[Determination and significance of plasma P-selectin in patients with allergic rhinitis].
OBJECTIVE
To study the level of plasma P-selectin in patients with allergic rhinitis(AR) and to investigate its significance.


METHODS
The concentration of P-selectin in plasma of 58 patients with AR and 30 normal volunteers were detected with ELISA method.


RESULTS
The levels of plasma P-selectin in AR group was higher than that in normal control group(P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
There is relationship between the level of P-selectin in plasma and AR. It suggests that the P-selectin may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AR.
