Possible factors influencing nasal allergy in children were studied using a questionnaire and allergic examination including eosinophil count of nasal discharge, IgE RAST score to house dust and provocation test. We investigated three groups of children according to the results of allergic examinations. The negative group, the equivocal group and the definite group, respectively, consisted of 40, 49 and 107 children. We found the prediction value of definite group with eosinophil count of nasal discharge, IgE-RAST score and provocation test to house dust were respectively 77.0, 89.2 and 78.1%. Bottle feeding and history of asthma bronchiale occurred more frequently in the definite group. These observations provide epidemiologic and clinical bases for further investigations of children with nasal allergy.
