This case control study was carried out on 52 school-aged patients who were classified into: allergic rhinitis group: 26 individuals, and Control group: 26 individuals without symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Esinophilic count by blood cell counter was don. We used SYBR Green real time PCR by extraction of RNA According to RNeasy Mini Kit instructions for Identifing bacteria (lactobacillus and bacteroides).
Results: There is signifigance difference between cases and control regarding lactic acid bacteria RNA and bacteroids bacteria RNA as 1st type was significantly higher among control group compared to cases group while 2nd type was significantly higher among cases group compared to control group.
