ABSTRACT

Allergic rhinitis is a common disease that can coexist with other alterations in the professional field of the otolaryngologist; although prescribing anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory drugs is the most common therapeutic option against this disease, treating its cause requires the identification of the allergens that cause it, which can be determined with different tests. Besides analyzing the basis of allergen identification with skin tests, this document describes the development and evolution of the intradermal test skin endpoint titration (designed by otolaryngologists), which offers quantitative results; we present the current technique to perform it, analyze it, its advantages and potential disadvantages compared with other tests to detect allergy. With proper training and provided that adequate resources are available, the use of this test by the otolaryngologist allows to broaden the diagnostic approach, in addition to making easier to take medical and surgical decisions, related to the wide spectrum of allergic nasal disease.
