Only 35 percent of the nasal polyp patients also had positive inhalant skin tests.

It may be that non\u2010IgE\u2010mediated hypersensitivities, such as to ingested foods, play a role on the basis of a significant number of patients with positive intradermal skin tests to foods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>SIGNIFICANCE<\/jats:title><jats:p>Evaluation of the allergic status of patients with polyposis is important.
