Differential diagnosis plays a key role in diagnosing specific types of allergic rhinitis. The method involving allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) detection in nasal lavage fluid, which has continually been the object of standardization efforts, is characterized by high specificity/sensitivity and plays a special role in diagnosing local allergic rhinitis. This article is a systematic review of the literature on the methodology, standardization, and use of sIgE detection in nasal lavage fluid in patients undergoing diagnostic tests for allergic rhinitis.
