The patients were subdivided according to their type of rhinitis: allergic rhinitis (59), infectious rhinitis (32), polyps (31), NARES (Non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome) (30) and NARNE (non-allergic rhinitis with neutrophils) (30).Results: The control subjects had only type I or II rhinitis, whereas patients with rhinitis usually showed type III or IV. Allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps had the most serious deterioration according to the fern test (type IV).Conclusions: The fern test is effective for assessing mucus alterations in patients with rhinitis and it could be included as a new parameter in the study of rhinitis as a potential biomarker of the function of damaged epithelial cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.29262\/ram.v66i2.544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,15]],"date-time":"2019-06-15T00:10:51Z","timestamp":1560557451000},"page":"184-191","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The role of the fern test in the treatment of rhinitis","El papel de la prueba de \u201chelecho\u201d en el tratamiento  de la rinitis"],"prefix":"10.29262","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4406-0008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Gelardi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2860-7608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Porro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6214-2336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicola","family":"Quaranta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6606-4811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brigida","family":"Sterlicchio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4804-2421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michela","family":"Silvestri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7016-8421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giorgio","family":"Ciprandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"11808","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]},"container-title":["Revista Alergia M\u00e9xico"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/544\/2439","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/544\/1033","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/544\/1002","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/download\/544\/2439","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,9]],"date-time":"2025-04-09T16:07:51Z","timestamp":1744214871000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/revistaalergia.mx\/ojs\/index.php\/ram\/article\/view\/544"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.29262\/ram.v66i2.544","relation":{},"ISSN":["2448-9190","0002-5151"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2448-9190"},{"type":"print","value":"0002-5151"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]}}}
