description Objective: The objective of this research was to measure the correlation of the expression of IL-4 with allergen sensitization in patients with allergic rhinitis. Methods: Descriptive analytics was used as a method in this research, with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects were 37 persons with allergic rhinitis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This research was conducted in patients with clinical manifestations of symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and skin prick tests were carried out with ten types of allergens, which are: house dust, cotton, chicken feathers, shrimp, tuna, chicken egg-yolk, chicken egg-white, peanuts, tea, and chocolate. Venous blood sampling was performed for the Interleukin-4 (IL-4) test by using an ELISA device. Results: The respondents were 37 patients with allergic rhinitis, of which 26 (70.3 %) were women and 11 (29.7 %) were men. The highest sensitivity to inhaled allergens in patients with rhinitis was to house dust in 31 samples (83.8 %). The correlation of the expression of IL-4 with sensitization to allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis based on the Spearman test resulted in p > 0.05, not significant with some allergens in a negative correlation. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between the expression of IL-4 and the sensitization to allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis.
