Abstract

Objective:The aim of this study is to observe the clinical efficacy of pollen specific immunotherapy with Artemisia in allergic rhinitis. Method:A total of 139 patients with allergic rhinitis who were positive for Artemisia pollen were selected for allergen skin pricking. All of them were treated with Artemisia pollen-specific immunotherapy. The patients were followed-up for 3 months, respectively before treatment (N), after treatment start interval. 3 months (D1, D2, D3) followup fill in the total score of nasal symptoms (TNSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, olfactory function grading, ocular symptom score (TOSS) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) )score. Result:TNSS：N>D1，N>D2，N>D3，D1,D2,D3 two of the three compared to no difference.VAS：N>D1，N>D2，N>D3，among D1,D2,D3, two of the three compared to no difference. Olfactory function classification:N>D1，N>D2，N>D3，among D1,D2,D3, two of the three compared to no difference.TOSS：N>D1，N>D2，N>D3，among D1,D2,D3,D1>D2,the rest had no difference. RQLQ: N>D1, N>D2, N>D3, D1>D2, D3>D1, D3>D2. Conclusion:The specific pollen immunotherapy of artemisia is effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, and the symptoms are obviously improved.
