Chronic rhinitis PostNasal Drip. What are rhinitis and post-nasal drip? rhinitis is inflammation of the inner lining of the nose.
http://www.medicinenet.com/Chronic_Rhinitis/article.htm

Extractions: The purpose of the nose is to warm, clean, and humidify the air you breath. In addition, it helps you to smell and taste. A normal person will produce about two quarts of fluid each day (mucus), which aids in keeping the respiratory tract clean and moist. Tiny microscopic hairs (cilia) line the surfaces helping to brush away particles. Eventually this mucus blanket is moved to the back of the throat where it is unconsciously swallowed. This entire process is closely regulated by several body systems. The nose is divided into two passage ways by a partition called the septum. Protruding into each breathing passage are bony projections, called turbinates, which help to increase the surface area of the inside of the nose. There are three turbinates on each side of the nose (inferior, middle, superior). The sinuses are four paired air filled chambers which empty into the nasal cavity. Their purpose is not really known.

http://www.medicinenet.com/Hay_Fever/article.htm

Extractions: (Allergic Rhinitis) Hay fever affects one in every five Americans. Over one billion dollars are spent each year in this country to treat this disorder. Millions of school and work days each year are lost suffering from hay fever symptoms. These figures are probably an underestimate because many sufferers attribute their discomfort to a chronic cold. Although childhood hay fever tends to be more common, this condition can occur at any age and usually occurs after years of repeated exposure to allergic substances. What is hay fever? "Hay fever" is a misnomer. Hay is not a usual cause of this problem and it does not cause fever. Early descriptions of sneezing, nasal congestion, and eye irritation while harvesting field hay promoted this popular term. Many substances cause the allergic symptoms noted in hay fever and hay represents only a small percentage. "Allergic rhinitis" is the correct term used to describe this allergic reaction. Rhinitis means "irritation of the nose" and is a derivative of "Rhino," meaning nose. Allergic rhinitis which occurs during a specific season is called "seasonal allergic rhinitis". When it occurs throughout the year, it is called "perennial allergic rhinitis."

http://www.allergyasthma.com/archives/asthma15.html

Extractions: Chronic nasal symptoms occur commonly in pregnant women, adding to the array of health care concerns during this exciting (yet intimidating) time of life. Some studies indicate that substantial symptoms of rhinitis occur in 30 percent of all pregnant women. Pregnancy-associated hormones have been linked to swelling of the mucosal lining of the nose. These hormones may may also indirectly affect the nose through their effect on blood volume during pregnancy. Circulating blood volume increases to 40 percent above non-pregnant levels, which may lead to increased nasal airway resistance during pregnancy. A physician must evaluate a patient and diagnose what type of rhinitis is causing the nasal symptoms and then great care must be used to formulate a treatment program that will be effective, yet safe for the pregnant woman and the fetus. Routine allergy skin testing during pregnancy cannot be recommended since the potential exists for systemic reactions in very sensitive subjects which could lead to adverse fetal effects. "Allergic rhinitis is probably the most common overall cause of gestational nasal symptoms," asserts Dr. Bethea. "It may occur for the first time during pregnancy but it usually has occured previously." She goes on to explain that allergic rhinitis is characterized by sneezing, runny nose, nasal itching, and perhaps eye itching. It may be seasonal and is frequently triggered by allergens such as house dust, grass, and animals.

Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Information about allergic rhinitis including the causes and different treatment options.
http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~uoshc/allergicrhinitis.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/ucdhs/health/a-z/77Allergic/doc77.html

Extractions: The nose is separated into two passages by a wall of cartilage called the septum. The nasal passages are lined with a membrane that produces mucus. Mucus is one of the body's defense systems: The mucus, a thin clear liquid, traps small particles and bacteria that are drawn into the nose as a person breathes. When one side of the nose is congested, air passes through the open, or decongested, side. The sides alternate between being wide open and being narrowed. If the congestion becomes severe or other changes occur that irritate the nasal passage, rhinitis develops. Rhinitis describes a group of symptoms that include following: Runny nose.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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).
Nasal Discomfort Can Be Caused By Irritants On The Job
Occupational rhinitis is covered in this article. With emphasis on highrisk jobs.
http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/968782294.html

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Occupational rhinitis (OR) is the name given to inflammation of the membranes lining the nose caused by exposure to job-related irritants or substances inducing allergy. It is characterized by sneezing, congestion, postnasal drainage and related symptoms. In one type of OR, allergic occupational rhinitis, the time between exposure to irritants and development of symptoms may range from two months to 18 years. However, irritant or non-allergenic OR may occur immediately after a high level of exposure to job-related irritants. Up to 15% of people suffer from occupational rhinitis and this number may be an underestimate because workers may not report symptoms for fear of repercussions at work. OR may be further underestimated because the symptoms don't always occur at work and may be difficult to connect to the job. Workers at particular risk of developing OR are those with a personal or family history of allergic diseases. A study of laboratory workers exposed to rats found that 45% of atopic patients those with positive skin tests for mites and grass allergies became allergic to rats within their first year on the job, compared to only 3% of non-atopic patients. Smoking also may be a risk factor for OR caused by certain chemicals.

Does rhinitis lead to asthma? Evidence for the one-airway hypothesis. Postgrad Med 2004;115(5):65-8 T he link between upper airway disease (allergic rhinitis) and lower airway disease (asthma) has long been of interest to physicians. Recently, extensive research has established that epidemiologic and therapeutic links exist between allergic rhinitis and asthma. Other recent evidence has provided a better understanding of the pathophysiologic interrelationship between allergic rhinitis and asthma. Such information has had an impact on the management of these disorders, including treatment and prophylaxis. Because of these observations, various investigators have referred to allergic rhinitis and asthma as united airways disease, allergic rhinobronchitis, chronic allergic respiratory disease, and combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome. The ramifications of the one-airway hypothesis are significant: they imply that allergic rhinitis should be carefully assessed and aggressively controlled to help prevent the development of asthma or as an integral part of asthma treatment. A number of epidemiologic studies have shown an association between rhinitis and asthma. In a review of five large studies that included populations of children, college-age students, and adults (1), the prevalence of asthma ranged from 3.6% to 5% in subjects without rhinitis as opposed to 10.5% to 32% in subjects with rhinitis. In a 23-year follow-up study of Brown University students (2), asthma developed in 10.5% of subjects with allergic rhinitis, whereas it developed in only 3.6% of subjects without allergic rhinitis. Improvement of allergic rhinitis symptoms was associated with resolution of asthma symptoms, and worsening of allergic rhinitis symptoms was associated with persistence of asthma symptoms.

Extractions: Cyrano Was Nothing To Sneeze At ALLERGIC RHINITIS Allergic rhinitis ("hay fever" or "rose fever" or "summer catarrh") is an allergic disorder. Allergy is an excessive reaction to a substance in the environment called an allergen. With time and exposure to these otherwise harmless materials, sensitization (allergy) may occur. Pollen, mold, dust mite and animal allergens that contact the nasal and eye lining cause sneezing, nasal congestion and itchy, watery swollen eyes. Trees cause early Spring symptoms, grasses elicit late Spring and early Summer problems and September and October difficulties are caused by weeds (especially ragweed). Perennial allergies may be due to dust mites, molds and animals. Diagnostic measures include a careful clinical history and physical along with allergen skin tests. Positive skin tests are only important if they correlate with the clinical history. A RAST (RadioAllergoSorbent Test) may be done if traditional skin tests cannot be performed. TREATMENT Avoidance : Not all allergens can be avoided and some windborne pollens may travel hundreds of miles.
