Local production of IgE in the respiratory mucosa and the concept of entopy: does allergy exist in nonallergic rhinitis?


Abstract

The concept of local allergy in IR patients is both intriguing and controversial.

Studies have reported conflicting results, and currently there is no single best test to evaluate for entopy.

It is known that there are a large number of IR patients for whom current treatment regimens are suboptimal. Therefore, further research elucidating the mechanisms of IR and the concept of localized IgE are needed to optimally diagnose this condition and treat this group of patients.
