Sensitisation profile of Chinese allergic rhinitis patients and effectiveness of a  joint allergy-ENT clinic

ConclusionThe ARJ clinic significantly improved AR symptoms. SLIT was effective and safe for patients who failed conventional treatments. VAS positively correlated with nasoendoscopy findings. Testing for Dermatophagoides pterynosinus as a  single agent during skin testing was sufficient for the diagnosis of HDM AR and should be prioritized when resources are restricted. Further studies should be done to investigate the treatment outcome of AR patients and the effectiveness of SLIT in the Chinese population.
