Abstract

We present a study of 22 patients with perennial non-atopic rhinitis who have been treated with a course of topical beclomethasone diproprionate (Beconase). All subjects were skin-test negative for the common inhaled allergens and had normal total and specific IgE levels. The results of treatment were assessed by symptom scoring and by active anterior rhinomanometry, and are compared to measurements of resistance made in 22 untreated controls and an equal number of normal volunteers.
