Subjects and Method : A total of 104 allergic rhinitis patients were classified into 2 groups. The multiple allergens group was defined as patients sensitive to multiple allergens including house dust mite . The single allergen group was defined as sensitive to only house dust mite in skin prick test. Severity of allergic rhinitis was evaluated according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) for following nasal symptoms. In vitro test, total IgE and blood eosinophil count was analysed.
Results : Total 104 allergic rhinitis patients were classified into 67 multiple allergens and 37 single house dust mite sensitive groups. The visual analogue scale of nasal symptoms were no difference between two groups as in vitro test, total IgE and blood eosinophil count.
Conclusion : Most subjective symptoms severities of allergic rhinitis patients sensitive to multiple allergens showed no difference rather than single house dust mite.
