Is there any connection between airborne allergies and Menieres Disease?
Although the contribution of an allergic reaction in Meniere’s disease has been suggested there is no conclusive evidence to support the idea. In a Swedish study 28 Meniere’s patients were screened for IgE antibodies to 6 common food and inhalant allergens. None of the tests was positive. Some preliminary studies have suggested that immunoglobulins in CSF and the cochlear fluids may be elevated in some patients but these studies need to be replicated.
