Abstract
Ten patients with allergic rhinitis due to grass pollen were challenged out of season with increasing concentrations of a well defined grass pollent extract. The reactions to challenge were followed by active anterior rhinomanometry at rest and just after exercise, rhinoscopy, counting of sneezes, measurement of secretion, and registration of the patient''s subjective symptoms. It was not possible to detect a positive reaction earlier with rhinomanometry than the other methods. Thus, rhinomanometry does not seem necessary in routine allergologic work.
