Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a symptomatic disorder of the nose induced after allergen exposure due to an IgE-mediated inflammation of the membranes lining the nose. According to its definition in 1929, "The three cardinal symptoms in nasal reactions occurring in allergy are sneezing, nasal obstruction and mucous discharge." Allergic rhinitis is a global health problem. Patients from all countries, ethnic groups, and ages suffer from allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis causes major illness and disability worldwide. It affects social life, sleep, school and work. The economic impact of allergic rhinitis is substantial; however, rhinitis is still underdiagnosed and undertreated.
