Allergic rhinitis case studies

This was a double-blind study versus placebo lasting 1 year, and including 30 children aged between 6 and 16 years, 15 in the treated group and 15 receiving a placebo. The criteria for inclusion were mild to moderate asthma and/or allergic rhinitis caused by mites (8 asthmatics, 8 cases of rhinitis and 14 cases involving both). The criteria used to assess efficacy were the outcome of skin... 

Although many side effects are associated with OCDs, the incidence of actual allergic reactions to the hormones themselves appears to be low. Chilla and Hau-BRiCH (1975) questioned 460 women in a survey and determined that the symptoms of the 67 women who were allergic were not the result of hormonal therapy. In 1977 Frouchtman et al. published the results of a study to assess the incidence of allergies to medication in allergic patients. Of 500 selected case histories, they reported only one patient with crisis of vasomotor rhinitis due to birth control pills. ... 

Exposure to chloropalatinates can give rise to immunologic contact urticaria, accompanied by asthma and rhinitis ( platinosis ).
