The incidence of atopy among 64 adults undergoing polypectomy was 25 per cent. Among these atopic patients it was usual for the polyp IgE level to exceed that in the serum. Similarly, D. pteronyssinus-specific IgE was more commonly identified in polyp fluid by the RAST technique than in serum. However, this was not so for grass pollen-specific IgE, where serum and polyp fluid were equally positive. We conclude that there are atopic and non-atopic polyps.
