ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the inhaled and food allergen distribution of patient with allergic rhinitis in north of Zhejiang and to analyze the difference of allergen distribution among different age groups.@*METHOD@#One thousand and forty eight patients in north of Zhejiang diagnosed with allergic rhinitis in our outpatient department were tested with skin prick test (SPT). The positive rate of inhaled and food allergens were calculated. To analysis the difference of positive rate between children and adult.@*RESULT@#Nine hundred and eighty-eight cases (94.3%) had the positive reaction. Dermato phagoides farinae and Dermatophagodies pteronyssinus had the highest positive ratio (72.1%, 71.8%) in inhalation group, followed cockroach (14.1%). In food group, Shrimp and peanuts had the highest positive ratio (18.3%,14.2%). Between children group and adults group, positive rate of food allergen was significantly different (P < 0.05), but of inhaled allergen was not significantly different.@*CONCLUSION@#The distribution of some allergens in children group and adults group was variable. The study shows that Dust mite was the mostly responsible common allergen in north of Zhejiang.

The pleomorphic adenoma of epiglottis is rare. When the tumor grows larger, some patients may have symptoms of pharyngeal foreign body sensation, but other patients have no obvious symptom. The tumor is mainly found through indirect laryngoscopy or electronic laryngoscopy. This disease can be confirmed by pathological diagnosis after tumor resection.
