Abstract
A case of laryngeal allergy was reported. A 38-year-old female presented to the Department of Otolaryngology, the University Hospital of Tokushima with a two-year history of abnormal sensation in the throat. The abnormal sensation was frequently associated with cough, sneeze, nasal discharge and eye itching. The arytenoid regions were slightly swollen and pale in color. A screening prescription for abnormal sensation in the throat, consisting of Bromazepam (2mg) 3T and Lysozyme chloride (270mg), was administrated for two weeks without any effect. A provocation test revealed allergic reactions of the mucosa of the arytenoid region to mite allergen : Following application of mite allergen, infiltration of mast cells was histologically observed in the mucosa. Azelastine HCl was effective.
