    Abstract:
    100 patient records were studied with a clinical diagnosis of perennial allergic rhinitis; they were 66 women and 34 men, with a range of 28.6 years old. The cutaneous tests were positive to pollens in 78% of the cases, fungus 39%, inhalables 39%, Dermatophagoides 19% and bacterial 7%. In the nasal mucous culture the following germs were isolated: S epidermidis 49%, S aureus 25%, Neisseria sp 15%, Corynebacterium 2%, P mirabilis 1% and E coli 1%. The nasal cytology was positive in 25% of the cases for the presence of eosinophils, and was negative in 75%. In only 27% of the patients eosinophil was found in the peripheric blood. The results are commented and the utility of the cultivation of nasal mucous and of the cytology of nasal mucous in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis is discussed.
