Abstract

False positive results were frequently observed in the responses to a questionnaire administered to parents about allergic rhinitis of their elementary school children. Examination of the antigen specific IgE was indispensable to improve the specificity of the study. In addition, nasal inspection and nasal cytology were very helpful in the accurate diagnosis of pediatric allergic rhinitis.
