When perennial rhinitis worsens: rhinolith mimicking severe allergic rhinitis [PDF]
Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common causes of nasal obstruction, but other diseases need to be considered particularly when the clinical course is getting worse. We present a patient with known mild persistent allergic rhinitis due to house dust mites who experienced progressive worsening of nasal obstruction with associated hyposmia and ...

Mediators and Cytokines in Persistent Allergic Rhinitis and Nonallergic Rhinitis with Eosinophilia Syndrome [PDF]
Background: Patients with nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) show typical symptoms of persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR). The aim of the present study was to compare nasal cytokine patterns between NARES and PAR.

Requalification of patients with severe asthma for biological therapy-Practical 'ReQuaBi' rate decision scheme based on the analytical model. [PDF]
Abstract Background Patients with severe asthma experience decreased quality of life due to fixed airway obstruction, hospitalisations and potential fatalities. However, to date, the requalification of severe asthma patients eligible for biological therapy in daily clinical practice remains unstudied.

Treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis by local hyperthermia. [PDF]
Ninety-five patients with documented perennial allergic rhinitis have been treated with local hyperthermia of the nasal passages in a randomized double-blind trial. The treatment consisted of one series of three 30-min insufflations of humidified air at 43 degrees C at a 2-hr interval. In the active treatment group, 75% (P less than 0.00003) and 68% (P

Olfactory dysfunction in seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis
The limitation in olfactory function in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR) can be ascribed to an increase in eosinophilic and mast cell activity in the olfactory cleft. Therefore, the decrease in olfactory functions seems to be predominantly caused by the inflammation of the epithelium and not by the obstruction of the nose caused by the ...

Nasal histamine responses in nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilic syndrome [PDF]
Background: Nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilic syndrome (NARES) is persistent, without atopy, but with ≥25% nasal eosinophilia. Hypereosinophilia seems to contribute to nasal mucosa dysfunction.
