Allergic rhinitis is now recognized as a chronic medical condition that markedly affects patient quality of life and is a cause of substantial medical care expenditures. Effective treatment of adults with allergic rhinitis usually requires an integrated regimen that combines allergen avoidance measures, pharmacotherapy, and possible specific-allergen immunotherapy. This approach can control bothersome symptoms with minimal adverse effects in most patients. New medications, such as anti-immunoglobulin E therapy and cytokine antagonists, may provide relief to patients who are refractory to or do not tolerate currently available treatments.
变应性鼻炎现被认为是一种显著影响患者生活质量的慢性疾病，也是医疗护理支出的一个重要原因。对变应性鼻炎成年患者的有效治疗通常需要一种综合方案，该方案结合了避免接触变应原措施、药物治疗以及可能的特异性变应原免疫治疗。这种方法可以在大多数患者中以最小的不良反应控制令人烦恼的症状。新的药物，如抗免疫球蛋白E疗法和细胞因子拮抗剂，可能为对现有治疗无效或不耐受的患者提供缓解。
