Abstract
By means of the saccharin time measurement, the mucociliary function of the nasal mucosa of the inferior turbinate was evaluated in clinical cases with allergic rhinitis after the therapeutic application of trichloroacetic acid solution. It was found that the saccharin time (ST) tended to be prolonged within 1 year after the treatment, whereas it gradually became shortened to reach the level of normal control after 3 years. The result would indicate that the mucociliary function recovered correspondingly with regeneration of the ciliary epithelium.Keywords
