Don’t Let Allergic Rhinitis Get the Better of Patients
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the nasal mucosa caused by IgE-mediated early- and late-phase hypersensitivity responses. Because of the non–life-threatening nature of symptoms, AR has, in the past, been considered a trivial disease but is increasingly recognised as having a major effect on quality of life (QoL), emotional well-being, sleep, daily activities and productivity when poorly controlled.
