“…The results of clinical studies are conflicting as to whether allergic subjects have a different immune response to colds compared with nonallergic subjects (25, 26). Similarly, the opinions of whether or not there are marked chronic radiological changes in the paranasal sinuses in allergic rhinitis vary (7, 27). However, in view of the end result, namely the risk of bacterial sinusitis, it does not matter which mechanism has caused the sinus functioning to be deteriorated.…”

“…In practice, interviews concerning the causal relation, frequency, latent period and atopic disposition often provide suggestions but sometimes give unreliable evidence to base the diagnosis of occupational nasal allergy. Therefore, nasal provocation tests (144,(1314)(1315)(1316)(1317) are necessary to confirm the causality between the disease and any work exposure (1390 Computerized tomography has become the principal radiological investigation for major sinonasal disorders but is of limited use in the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (1392)(1393)(1394)(1395)(1396). Computerized tomography scans can be carried out after receiving specialist advice:…”
