Objectives: Evaluation of demographic characteristics, symptoms, allergen sensitization and treatment, in patients complaining of nasal obstruction referred to immunoallergology with suspected allergic rhinitis.
Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of case reports of patients ( 1 October 2005 - 30 September 2006).
Results: 53 patients were referred, with 24% reporting history of allergic diseases. The most common symptoms were nasal obstruction (88%) and the anterior rhinorrhea ( 78%). Sixty one per cent of patients had allergic rhinitis. Only 1% of patients had no complaints after medical treatment. Diagnosis is confirmed with skin tests by prick and/or assay of specific IgE.
Conclusions: The clinical suspicion of allergic rhinitis is based on the collection of detailed clinical history and physical examination. Symptomatic treatment of these patients is difficult with the use of allergen avoidance and corticotherapy nasal and/ or antihistamines.
