DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR ALLERGIC RHINITIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity is performed. Inferior and middle concha mucosa of the nasal cavity is deslimed. A nasal mucosa fluorescence intensity is studies by an ultraviolet pulse laser on molecular nitrogen. At wave lengths 440 nm and 560 nm, spectral index F is derived from a logarithm of relation of a fluorescent intensity at minimum wave length (440 nm) to a fluorescent intensity at maximum wave length (560 nm). If the spectral index F is equal to 2.28±0.14, perennial allergic rhinitis is diagnosed. The spectral index F equal to 1.86±0.14 enables diagnosing seasonal allergic rhinitis.EFFECT: technique enables fast and effective diagnosis of the form of allergic rhinitis.3 ex
