Rhinitis Rhinitis is a term describing the symptoms produced by nasal irritation or inflammation. Symptoms of rhinitis include runny nose, itching, sneezing and stuffy nose due to blockage or congestion. These symptoms are the nose's natural response to inflammation and irritation. Arbitrarily, rhinitis lasting less than six weeks is called acute rhinitis, and persistent symptoms are called chronic rhinitis. Acute rhinitis is usually caused by infections or chemical irritation. Chronic rhinitis may be caused by allergy or a variety of other factors. The nose normally produces mucus, which traps substances like dust, pollen, pollution, and germs such as bacteria and viruses. Mucus flows from the front of the nose and drains down the back of the throat. When mucus production is excessive, it can flow from the front, as a runny nose, or become noticeable from the back, as post-nasal drip. Nasal mucus, normally a thin, clear liquid, can become thick or colored, perhaps due to dryness, infection or pollution. When post-nasal drip is excessive, thick, or contains irritating substances, cough is the natural response for clearing the throat. Itching and sneezing are also natural responses to irritation caused by allergic reactions, chemical exposures including cigarette smoke, or temperature changes, infections and other factors.

Allergic Rhinitis Allergic rhinitis (commonly called hay fever) is an inflammation or irritation of the mucous membranes that line the nose. Common symptoms include sneezing; a stuffy or runny nose; itchy eyes, nose and throat; and watery eyes. You may also have a nasal voice; breathe noisily; snore; feel chronically tired; have a poor appetite; feel nauseated; have frequent headaches; and, have some difficulty hearing and smelling. CAUSES Allergic rhinitis happens when an allergen (an allergy-producing substance, such as pollen) causes your body to defend itself by producing antibodies. When an allergen and an antibody combine, your body releases histamine and other chemical substances into your bloodstream, which causes an allergic response. Pollen, dust, mold or other substances that can be inhaled, are common allergens that cause symptoms. Seasonal allergic rhinitis usually results from tree, grass or weed pollen. With this type of rhinitis, symptoms will decrease with the arrival of cold weather. Perennial allergic rhinitis can cause year-round symptoms. This allergic reaction is the result of indoor irritants such as feathers, mold spores, animal danders (hair and skin shed by pets) or dust mites.

Allergic Rhinitis Jim Ellsmere, B.Eng, Meds '99 Dalhousie University Reviewed by E. Massoud MD FRCCS, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Otolaryngology, Dalhousie University What is allergic rhinitis? Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa which is triggered by an allergic reaction. The inflammation is caused by an excessive degranulation of mast cells. Increased IgE levels to certain allergens are thought to be responsible for this phenomenon. When exposed to these allergens, the IgE covered mast cells degranulate releasing inflammatory mediators and cytokines which results in a local inflammatory reaction. Epidemiology Over the last couple of decades, there appears to have been an increase in the prevalence of allergic rhinitis. This increase is partially attributable to the limited ventilation in most modern housing. Some have also suggested pollution may have a role. Recent studies however suggest this is probably not the case. In one study comparing the rates of allergic rhinitis in two German cites, no significant difference was found despite the significantly higher levels of pollution in the eastern city. Inciting Factors The triggers responsible for allergic rhinitis may be classified as either seasonal or perennial. Seasonal allergens are for the most part found outdoors. Common seasonal allergens include tree, grass and weed pollens, and airborne molds. As one would suspect, these allergens depend very much on the geographic area. Perennial allergens tend to be found indoors and include among others things, dust mites and animal dander (especially from cats).

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.
