[Allergic rhinitis and concomitant ENT diseases at Rudny Altai].
High prevalence of allergic rhinitis with concomitant ENT abnormalities at the stage of remission or exacerbation was documented among residents of the Rudny Altai region. A total of 200 patients with allergic rhinitis were examined of whom 114 (57%) had concomitant ENT diseases both of allergic and non-allergic origin. Sensitization to the pollen of herbs and grasses was recorded most frequently whereas the contribution of allergic reactions to the pollen of trees and shrubs to overall morbidity was much less significant. Interestingly, very high sensitivity to the pollen of local allergenic flora was documented. Most patients with allergic reactions exhibited poly- and hypersensitization to seasonal allergic rhinitis. Peculiarities of sensitization spectra in patients with allergic rhinitis and concomitant ENT pathology of allergic and non-allergic etiology are discussed.
