In 100 patients referred to the allergy clinic of the First Otolaryngological University Hospital of Vienna because of chronic rhinopathy an exact allergy diagnosis was carried out, comprising anamneses, skin tests and laboratory tests (Rast, Prist). The test results have yielded two or three diagnosis groups: patients with rhinitis vasomotorica nonallergica, rhinitis vasomotorica allergica, and pollinosis. In addition, in all patients an intelligence test by means of WIP (a short form of HAWIE) was carried out. The IQ of all patients tested is, on the average, significantly above the average of the normal population, the variation in all three groups being significantly below the average of the normal population. The reason for the low degree of variation is that patients with low IQ values were missing. Earlier tests carried out by this clinic (allergy-screening test in 3500 school pupils) had shown that the percentage of allergy patients among pupils with low IQs (special schools) and other children (secondary-schools) cannot be assumed to be of a varying degree. This fact demonstrates that although allergy patients with below-average intellectual ability do exist, they obviously do not consult the respective special clinics. This paper tries to explain this phenomenon and suggests that the socially lower strata be increasingly informed about the problem of allergy.
在因慢性鼻病转诊至维也纳第一耳鼻咽喉科大学医院过敏门诊的100名患者中，进行了精确的过敏诊断，包括问诊、皮肤试验和实验室检测（放射性过敏原吸附试验、普里斯检测）。检测结果产生了两到三个诊断组：非变应性血管运动性鼻炎患者、变应性血管运动性鼻炎患者和花粉症患者。此外，对所有患者进行了借助WIP（HAWIE的简略形式）的智力测试。所有接受测试患者的智商平均显著高于正常人群的平均水平，三组患者智商的变化幅度均显著低于正常人群的平均水平。变化幅度低的原因是智商值低的患者缺失。该门诊此前进行的检测（对3500名学童的过敏筛查检测）表明，智商低的学童（特殊学校）和其他儿童（中学）中过敏患者的百分比不能认为有不同程度的差异。这一事实表明，虽然确实存在智力能力低于平均水平的过敏患者，但他们显然没有前往各自的专科门诊就诊。本文试图解释这一现象，并建议应让社会较低阶层更多地了解过敏问题。
