Abstract

Objective: To describe characteristics of nasal cytology of patients with allergic rhinitis at the National Hospital of Otolaryngology. Methods: In vivo study, we performed on 20 patients with diagnosis of allergic rhinitis at Clinical Allergy - Immunology Clinic, National Hospital of Otolaryngology. All patients were performed nasal cytology and evaluated the specimen characteristics based on the criteria of Jianjun Chen et al [1]. Result: proportion of groups of acidophilic, mixed, neutrophilic, low cells were 35%, 20%, 30%, 15%, respectively. There were a statistically significant differences in the level of general discomfort according to the VAS scale, in which the VAS score of the acidophilic group (8.00±0.82) hadstatistically significantlyhigher than that of the neutrophilic group (6.67±1.21) and low cells (5,67±1,53) with p-values ​​of 0.032 and 0.004, respectively. The VAS scores of the mixed group, neutrophilic group and low cell grouphad no statistically significant differenceswith all p-values higher than 0.05. The severity of symptoms and the total nasal symptom scores of the specimen groups had no statistically significant differences with all p-values higher than 0.05. Conclusion: the nasal cytology provides valuable information on the subgroup of patients, which is significant in prognostication of disease severity in allergic rhinitis.
