Allergy-induced rhinitis, which should be distinguished from the common cold, is an inflammation of the upper air passages caused by a defence mechanism reacting to a wide variety of allergens and allergenic factors.
The increasing frequency of this illness – the number of people affected has doubled in ten years – may be a direct result of atmospheric and environmental pollution, but many other allergenic, chemical, genetic and biological factors such as pollen and acarids can be pinpointed in order to determine the most appropriate form of treatment.
This book provides a complete overview of current scientific knowledge about allergy-induced rhinitis and will be useful for all general practitioners, ENT and allergy specialists who wish to tailor their advice and prescriptions to individual patients.
Featuring numerous summary tables, it will be an invaluable aid to diagnosis and in deciding on appropriate treatment.
