Published: November 2014

Under the broad heading of "vasomotor" rhinitis two big groups can be distinguished: allergic rhinitis (IgE-mediated), and nonallergic rhinitis. Since they are two separate nosological entities, they can co-exist in the same patient, classifying themselves in the group of "overlapped" rhinitis (OR). Although not absolutely rare (indeed it is estimated a 15-20% incidence among all vasomotor rhinopathies), this condition is not investigated and diagnosed, with significant implications in the clinical-diagnostic and therapeutic field.

Background And Aim: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) belong to field of vasomotor rhinitis, characterized by nasal hyper-reactivity. Since AR and NAR are two separate nosological entities, these rhinopaties can coexist in the same patient in up to 15-20% of cases. Overlapped rhinitis (ORs) are associated with intense and persistent symptoms and are often misdiagnosed.

Sensitization Profiles of Timothy Grass Pollen in Northern China.

J Asthma Allergy

November 2021

Department of Allergy, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100730, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Grass pollen is an important cause of IgE-mediated allergy in countries worldwide, especially within Europe. However, there has been no research on grass pollen allergy in northern China. We aimed to determine the status of grass pollen allergy and the sensitization patterns to () in northern China.

Genome wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed several airway disease-associated risk loci. Their role in the onset of asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR) or chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), however, is not yet fully understood. The aim of this review is to evaluate the airway relevance of loci and genes identified in GWAS studies.

Methods: In the study, we included 86 children diagnosed with atopic asthma ( = 25), allergic rhinitis ( = 20), and atopic dermatitis ( = 20) and healthy control subjects ( = 21) of Caucasian origin from the Polish population. The blood leukocyte expression of 31 genes involved in neuroinflammatory response (neurotrophins, their receptors, neuropeptides, and histamine signaling pathway) was analysed using TaqMan low-density arrays. The relative expression of selected proteins from plasma was done using TaqMan Protein Assays.

Objective: Chronic rhinitis is a common disease with an incidence of 40% in the Western population. Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects half of the adult population, while in children prevalence of AR vs. non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) of 3-4:1 is reported.
