Symptomatology Patterns in Children with Allergic Rhinitis.

BACKGROUND Although allergic rhinitis (AR) is recognized as a growing global health disease with considerable importance for patients' lives, especially among children and adolescents, there is a lack of population studies concerning symptomatology patterns of the disease. The present study aimed to explore symptoms prevalence among school-aged children, to detect any correlation between allergen sensitivities with symptomatology patterns, and, finally, to evaluate the association of the sensitivity grade score with symptoms severity or seasonality. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional, observational study in a childhood population.
