We compared swab and scraping (Rhino-probe) technics in the nasal cytology obtention for eosinophils count in 36 patients with a range of 2-46 years old (mean age 18.6 years) with diagnosis of Allergic Rhinitis. The eosinophil count with swab technic was between 0-79 cells with average of 6.5 cells and in the scraping (Rhino-probe) was in a rate of 0-100 cells with a average of 13.4 cells. Of the 36 patients with Rhinitis seen at our clinic, 13 (36%) of positive with swab and 19 (53%) with scraping technics (Rhino-probe) with percent differential of 17%. The comparison between the eosinophils count with both technics was p less than 0.05 for scraping (Rhino-probe) technic.
我们比较了拭子和刮擦（鼻探头）技术在36例年龄在2至46岁（平均年龄18.6岁）、诊断为变应性鼻炎的患者鼻腔细胞学获取嗜酸性粒细胞计数中的应用。拭子技术的嗜酸性粒细胞计数在0至79个细胞之间，平均为6.5个细胞；刮擦（鼻探头）技术的嗜酸性粒细胞计数为0至100个细胞，平均为13.4个细胞。在我们诊所就诊的36例鼻炎患者中，拭子技术阳性13例（36%），刮擦（鼻探头）技术阳性19例（53%），差异百分比为17%。两种技术的嗜酸性粒细胞计数比较显示，刮擦（鼻探头）技术的p值小于0.05。
