The results were as follows; 1) Maxillary sinusitis was detected in 186 cases (73.5%) by Watr’s view X-ray in allergic asthma and rhinitis children. 2) There was no significant differences between blood eosinophilia and eosinophil of masal secre- tion and incidence of maxillary sinusitis. 3) There was no significant differences between serum total IgE antibody level, specific IgE antibody level of D.f, D.p and incidence of maxillary sinusitis. 4) There was no significant differences between wheal size of D.f, D.p and incidence of maxillary sinusitis. 5) The more increased the numer of allergen with D.f, D.p, the more increased the incidence of maxillary sinusitis. 6) the more increased the severity of symptome of rhinitis and asthma, the more increased the incidence of maxillary sinusitis.
