ABSTRACT

Background: Eosinophil cells are white blood family cells (leucocytes) implicated in multiple ailments derived from bone marrow.
Objective: To demonstrate the utility of the eosinophil cells in nasal mucus technique, in diagnosing allergic rhinitis.
Patients and methods: Patients’ total was 73: 32 male and 41 female, in an age range that goes from 0 to 65 years. It was applied a protocol using the following tests: eosinophil cells in nasal mucus, hematic biometry, IgE in serum and 3-series coproparasitoscopic.
Results: Almost 40% of the patients have positive diagnosis of probable allergic rhinitis. There is minimal female predominance (56.1%) over male (43.8%). The prevailing age range was 0 to 10 years.
Conclusions: Eosinophil cells test in nasal mucus by itself is not definitive but an important diagnostic support element because it allows, as a protocol part with other tests, a diagnosis.
