    Allergic rhinitis is a global health issue and its prevalence is increasing. Allergic rhinitis and asthma coexist in many patients. Allergic rhinitis is an Ig E mediated reaction. Prostaglandins and Leukotriens do not play a significant role in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis. Skin prick test and Enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are useful as diagnostic tests. The three major modalities of treatment for allergic rhinitis are allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy and immunotherapy.

    Although it has been observed that nasal allergy is rarely seen in patients who have nasopharyngeal carcinoma, to our knowledge, no actual study of such a lack of association has been previously reported. To fill this void, we conducted a pilot study to investigate any such inverse relationship. We conducted skin-prick allergen tests on 22 patients with newly diagnosed but not-yet-treated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Combining these test results with findings on the history and clinical examination, we concluded that only one of the 22 cancer patients (4.5%) had allergic rhinitis. Our study also confirmed the validity of using findings on the history, clinical examination, and skin-prick testing as a reliable means of diagnosing allergic rhinitis.
