Abstract Background Allergic rhinitis is the most prevalent allergic disease, and the prevalence and sensitization patterns differ among countries. Identifying the most common inhalant allergen in each region plays a key role in the diagnosis and management of allergic rhinitis. There are no data available about the most prevalent aeroallergen among allergic rhinitis patients in Egypt. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of positive serum allergen-specific IGE to common inhalant allergens among allergic rhinitis patients in Egypt. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 354 allergic rhinitis patients, serum allergen-specific IGE was measured by using the Immuno CAP system to 16 common regional aeroallergens including (pollens, mite, molds, animal dander, and cockroach). Results The overall rate of sensitization to any allergen was 74.6%. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, birch pollens, and Dermatophagoides farina were the most prevalent allergens (29.7%, 23.7%, and 18.6%), respectively. Cladosporuim molds were the least prevalent individual allergens (1.7%). Conclusion Our data suggest that Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and birch pollens were the predominant allergen sources among allergic rhinitis patient in Egypt.

Eosinophils are important to the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, and are increased in bronchoalveolar lavage within four hours after bronchoprovocation of allergic asthmatic patients, and remain significantly increased up to 24 hours later. While the components of human eosinophil granules have been recently isolated and purified, the mechanisms of degranulation have yet to be elucidated.We obtained blood from two volunteers who had a history of allergic rhinitis and asthma and a positive skin test (5x5mm wheal) to Alternaria and Ragweed. Eosinophils were obtained using a modification of the method described by Roberts and Gallin.
