Abstract
Treatment of cedar pollinosis with laser equipments is very effective. Much attention to the cedar pollinosis treatment is being paid from economic perspectives, but there have not been any reports which analyze the cost effect in Japan. To assess the economical effect the authors analyze the costs of three typical treatment protocols for cedar pollinosis: laser treatment, anti-histamine prescription and desensitization immunotherapy. The authors calculate the direct costs and the indirect cost and analyze the economical effects. In consequence the authors suggest the laser treatment is better in the point of economic effect, compared to the two other treatment protocols.
