摘要

In this letter, we report that ragweed-allergic participants with nasal Staphylococcus aureus carriage (n = 7) exhibited significantly smaller reductions in Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow from baseline at 3 h (P = 0.013) and 5 h (P = 0.008) post–nasal allergen challenge compared to non-carriers (n = 12). There was no significant difference between carriers and non-carriers in the initial response within the first three hours following the challenge (all P > 0.05). Carriers also reported significantly lower Total Nasal Symptom Scores (P = 0.015) and Total Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptom Scores (P = 0.021) at 48 h. These findings suggest that S. aureus carriage does not exacerbate allergic responses and may instead be associated with more rapid symptom resolution.
