No organ is more subjected to allergic invol-vement than the nose (Sherman and Kessler 1957) . The allergic reactions result in the release of manychemical mediators. The nasal mucosa is readily af-fected by the endocrine secretion. In allergic dis-eases, non infectious and non toxic substances result in a type of immune response which give rise to symp-toms in single individuals which could be termed al-lergy and the results is the synthesis of antibodies (immunoglobulins) against actual antigens.Therefore this work was made in an attempt to evaluate the relationship of some hormones and immuno-globulins with nasal allergy.Our study comprised two groups :-I.Control group included 17 subjects.II.Allergic patients group included 20 patients. All groups of the present study were subjected to the following :1- Full history was taken and in case of allergic patients a questionnaire was taken.
