| We conducted a prospective study of 60 patients in a tertiary care referral center to ascertain the status of cell-mediated immunity as determined by delayed hypersensitivity reactions in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) or allergic rhinitis. Immune type reactions include immediate hypersensitivity (type I) or delayed hypersensitivity (type IV). Non-IgE-mediated inflammatory responses to food antigens that are driven by T cells and other immune cell types have been implicated in delayed hypersensitivity reactions affecting both babies and adults (1,4). |
