site map An allergy is the body's hypersensitivity to substances in the environment. Allergic reactions range from mild itching, sneezing or eczema (inflamed, itchy skin), to severe hives, hay fever, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Read on The most common symptom of seasonal allergies is allergic rhinitis, otherwise known as hay fever. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis closely mimic those of the common cold. Read on Once the causes and severity of the patient's allergies are determined, the doctor can prescribe a treatment plan. The most common treatment plans include avoiding the allergen and allergy medications including antihistamines and nasal sprays. Read on Allergy shots, also known as immunotherapy, can offer long-lasting relief for many people. The allergy patient receives a small injection of the offending allergens usually twice a week at first, then less often with larger doses as time goes by. These small doses desensitize the body's immune system to each allergen.

42. Non Allergic Rhinitis Information about nonallergic types of rhinitis, including infectious rhinitis, hormonal rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES), certain types of occupational rhinitis, gustatory and drug-induced rhinitis. http://www.jcaai.org/Param/Rhinitis/Complete/non_allergic_rhinitis.htm

13. Nonallergic rhinitis is characterized by sporadic or persistent perennial symptoms of rhinitis that do not result from IgE-mediated immunopathologic events. Examples of nonallergic rhinitis are infectious rhinitis, hormonal rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES), certain types of occupational rhinitis, and gustatory and drug-induced rhinitis. The differential diagnosis of nonallergic rhinitis is extensive. The mechanisms in each are poorly understood. Nonallergic rhinitis with inflammatory cells present in the mucosa can be classified by inflammatory cell type. Nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) is characterized by nasal congestion and prominent nasal eosinophilia. (see summary statement #15) The mechanism of the eosinophil infiltration is not known. Eosinophilia is also prominent when nasal polyps are present, but again the mechanism of eosinophil recruitment is not known. Subjects with aspirin sensitivity have nasal eosinophilia. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal antiin-flammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block cyclooxygenase activity, and shunt arachidonic acid to the 5-lipoxygenase pathway that increases production of the potent proinflammatory cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC , LTD , and LTE Neutrophilic infiltrates usually indicate the presence of bacterial rhinosinusitis, especially when humoral immunodeficiency or ciliary dysmotility are present.

What Is Allergic Rhinitis? (Note: If you do not see the animation above, please make sure you have the Macromedia Flash plug-in properly installed.) If you suffer from allergic rhinitis nasal allergies ), then you are not alone. In fact, approximately 40 million people in the United States suffer from this common chronic condition. Rhinitis makes the inside of your nose swollen and inflamed. As a result, you may experience nasal symptoms, such as sneezing, congestion , and runny nose. If you have nasal allergies, immune cells in your nasal lining overreact to certain "allergic triggers" that you breathe in through the air. These include seasonal allergy triggers such as pollen , and year-round allergy triggers such as dust mites , animal dander , and mold spores. You may recognize the symptoms of rhinitis by taking a look at the many faces of allergy sufferers... In addition to causing nasal symptoms, allergic rhinitis can have a disruptive impact on your life. Symptoms can affect how you feel at home, at work, at school, and even how you interact with others. The good news is that allergic rhinitis is treatable. Your doctor can help you identify the cause of your symptoms, and how to best treat them. Usually, your doctor will ask you to fill out a detailed questionnaire about your symptoms, your environment, and your health history. Important Information about RHINOCORT AQUA: RHINOCORT AQUA is indicated for the treatment of seasonal and year-round nasal allergy symptoms in adults and children 6 years and older.

Subscribe now >> Allergic Rhinitis in Children As the most common allergic condition, allergic rhinitis affects people of all ages. Allergic rhinitis is generally characterized by frequent sneezing and a runny or stuffy nose sometimes accompanied by watery eyes. Certain populations, such as young children and adolescents, require special consideration for safe and effective diagnosis and treatment. Boys are twice as likely to get allergic rhinitis than girls. The median age of onset of the condition is 10 years old, meaning that equal numbers of children develop the condition before and after age 10. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis may vary greatly by region. A study in Tucson, Arizona, for example, found that 42% of children were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by the age of six. A family history of allergic rhinitis is the greatest known risk factor for the condition. Other risk factors include higher social class, male gender, breast feeding for more than one month, being the first born, having a mother with asthma and having a dog in the home.

Allergic rhinitis may also be triggered by common indoor allergens such as animal dander, indoor mold, or the droppings of cockroaches or house dust mites—microscopic creatures found in the home. When this is the case, these allergies are called perennial allergies, because symptoms may last year-round.

Allergic and nonallergic rhinitis Directing medical therapy at specific symptoms David F. Graft, MD VOL 100 / NO 2 / AUGUST 1996 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE If your browser does not support tables click here. This is the first of five articles on allergy Preview : "Allergy season" may be somewhat of a misnomer, since for some people, allergies are always in season. But for many, rhinitis and other symptoms are strongly influenced by Mother Nature and are at their worst during the annual periods of pollen overload. Dr Graft describes how to determine the cause of rhinitis, whether allergy related or not, and how to choose the most effective medication on the basis of disease severity and accompanying problems. C omplaints of nasal symptoms are not uncommon among patients visiting primary care physicians. Allergic rhinitis is usually described as seasonal or perennial (depending on the offending allergen), and the two types often coexist. "Nonallergic rhinitis" is an encompassing term for a variety of disorders, some of which are affected by environmental factors although no allergies are present. Allergic rhinitis Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disorder. In a genetically predisposed person, exposure to certain substances can lead to generation of IgE antibodies that are directed against a specific allergen. On re-exposure to the allergen, binding to the IgE antibodies causes release of a host of mediators of allergic response, including histamine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes. This multiplicity of mediators helps explain why antihistamines alone often do not control symptoms adequately. Binding of these mediators to receptors on blood vessels and other tissues results in clinical symptoms, which may begin within minutes of exposure (ie, an early-phase response). About half of patients also experience recrudescence of symptoms about 4 to 8 hours after exposure to the allergen (ie, a late-phase response) (1).

University of Oregon HEALTH CENTER Allergy Clinic ALLERGIC RHINITIS ( HAY FEVER ) Symptoms of allergic rhinitis (Hay Fever) include itchy, runny, sneezy, or stuffy noses, and itchy eyes. Allergic rhinitis is a common illness affecting an estimated 20-40 million Americans, and resulting in 10 million lost days of school or work each year. Often caused by pollens from trees, grass or weeds, it is most commonly known as hay fever. Hay fever subsides with the onset of cold weather. Perennial allergic rhinitis, however, occurs year around and is caused by indoor allergens such as dust, mite, mold spores, and animal dander. What Causes Allergic Rhinitis? Chemical substances, such as histamine, are normally stored in mast cells in tissues of the body, including the nose and eyes. The allergic person forms antibodies against pollens and other allergens. These antibodies attach themselves to the mast cells, and when combined with the allergen the result is the release of histamine and other chemical substances from the mast cells. These chemical substances cause the allergic responses of itching, sneezing, congestion, and dripping. Treatment: Avoidance is the best treatment for any allergy whenever possible. Keeping doors and windows closed in the home and in your car and avoiding vigorous outside activity will help to lessen your exposure during times when the pollen count is high. Removing pets from the home and dust and mold control measures can significantly relieve symptoms due to perennial allergens.

Pollens that are carried by bees from plant to plant are seldom responsible for hay fever because the grains are large and have a waxy coating. Tiny, hard-to-see pollens carried by the wind are more often the cause of hay fever. Examples of plants commonly responsible for hay fever include: trees (deciduous and evergreen) grasses most flowers ragweed In addition to individual sensitivity and geographic differences in local plant populations, the amount of pollen in the air can be a factor in whether hay fever symptoms develop. Hot, dry, windy days are more likely to have increased amounts of pollen in the air than cool, damp, rainy days where pollen is washed to the ground.
