Validation of a new questionnaire on asthma, allergic rhinitis, and conjunctivitis in young adults.

abstract：:Histamine is the primary mediator involved the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria, and this explains the prominent role that histamine H(1)-receptor antagonists have in the treatment of these disorders. However, histamine is clearly not the only mediator involved in the inflammatory cascade. Th...
