Abstract
1 Biopsies taken from the inferior turbinates of patients undergoing treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate aerosol for allergic rhinitis showed no changes attributable to this treatment.
2 A reduction in oedema and eosinophilia was noted but there was no effect on the thickening of the basement membrane.
