The incidence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in Asia and the world is steadily rising. Patients experience incomplete symptom relief despite existing treatment options, which warrants the need for new therapeutic regimes. Azelastine hydrochloride/fluticasone propionate (MP-AzeFlu), a novel intranasal formulation of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate has been indicated in the treatment of AR.

Objective: To analyze the long-term pattern of allergen skin prick test (SPT) sensitization at a single tertiary care hospital in Thailand.
Methods: Medical records of adult rhinitis patients during 1998 to 2017 were reviewed.

Background: Although allergic rhinitis (AR) has not been acknowledged as a strong risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), several pathophysiological linkages between these two conditions have frequently been reported. However, epidemiological data relating to the prevalence of OSA in patients with AR remain scarce.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of patients at high risk for OSA among patients with AR, and to determine the relationship between OSA and severity of AR.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in Thailand to examine the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in allergic rhinitis (AR) patients compared to healthy individuals.
- 200 participants were enrolled, with 100 in each group, and the results showed similar rates of S. aureus carriage between AR patients (21%) and healthy controls (20%).
- No significant links were found between S. aureus presence and the severity of allergic rhinitis among the patients tested.
Introduction And Objectives: American cockroach is a common aeroallergen sensitization in allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. Association between skin prick test (SPT) and specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to American cockroach allergen remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association between SPT and sIgE to American cockroach allergen in patients with AR.
