Abstract:
To explore the effect of different levels of skin pricking test on short-term efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy with allergic rhinitis.Thirty-one AR patients were included in our study.All the patients had received subcutaneous immunotherapy for 1 year.According to the levels of SPT the patients were divided into 3 groups(grade 2,10 persons;grade 3,10 persons and grade 4,11 persons).Of all the patients,the nasal symptoms visual analogue scale(VAS)score,medication score and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ)were investigated both before and after receiving 1 year subcutaneous immunotherapy.The total effective rate of VAS score,RQLQ score and medication score was 61.30%,58.06% and 64.52% respectively,but there was no statistical difference among the 3 groups after 1 year subcutaneous immunotherapy(P=0.573,0.136,0.699,>0.05).This study confirms the short efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy in AR patients with different levels of SPT.But the level of SPT was not an objective index for shortterm efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy of AR.
