Activity Description

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an atopic disease presenting with symptoms of sneezing, nasal congestion, clear rhinorrhea, and nasal pruritis. It is an IgE-mediated immune response that is against inhaled antigens in the immediate phase, with a subsequent leukotriene-mediated late phase. This activity describes the evaluation and treatment of allergic rhinitis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients with this condition.

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the abnormal immune response in the etiology of allergic rhinitis.
  • Explain the epidemiology of allergic rhinitis.
  • Describe the use of intranasal steroids, antihistamines, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and immunotherapy in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

As an Allergisit/Immunologist I would skin test someone showing symptoms of AR, especially if they work in landscaping with symptoms worse after work, while starting an intranasal steroid concurrently. Also, I've never seen or heard of the association of cobblestoning in the nasal mucosa (only posterior oral pharynx).
