METHOD: The ENT doctors examined the investigated children and recorded them, then delivered questionnaires to the children's parents and explained to them. The result was analyzed statistically. RESULT: The prevalence rate of allergic rhinitis of preschool children in Shenzhen was 20.1%, the prevalence rate of recurring respiratory infection was 13.7%, the prevalence rate (18.0%) of allergic rhinitis combined recurring respiratory infection was higher than that (7.80) of cases with non-allergic rhinitis combined recurring respiratory infection.
