Abstract
Problems involved in examination of human nasal smears for the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis are discussed. Investigation of nasal smears is not simple. Minor difficulties are encountered during the collection of specimens. It is difficult to quantify and correlate results of nasal smear investigations, limiting the value of this test in routine clinical practice.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
