| Abstract: | Allergic rhinitis is an antibody mediated inflammatory disease of nasal mucosa. It is classified as seasonal or perennial depending on timing and duration of symptoms. The characteristic symptoms include paroxysms of sneezing, nasal pruritis and congestion, and mucous secretion often resulting in post-nasal drainage (Tarnasky, 1990). Three principal therapeutic methods are used to alleviate allergic rhinitis: (1) avoidance of exposure to allergens; (2) pharmacologic treatment to minimise or counteract symptoms; and (3) immunologic treatment, which attempts to alter immune response to allergens (Norman, 1985). |
