Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study nasal endoscopy findings & its correlation with Serum IgE value in patient of allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis (AR) was diagnosed in patients with at least one sensitization clearly related to the actual symptomatic period of the year, or associated with exposure to particular antigens; endoscopic representation is characterized by swelling or pale nasal mucosa, crustings and nasal discharge; and polyposis.
