Rhinitis is a familiar disorder affecting up to 20% of the general population. Chronic rhinitis can be broadly classified into allergic, infectious, or nonallergic or noninfectious, which are distinguished mainly by a careful history and allergy testing. The pathophysiology of nonallergic rhinitis likely involves a combination of inflammatory and neurogenic mechanisms that are poorly understood. Treatment involves avoiding the offending agent, when possible, and using appropriate medications to control the patient's predominant symptoms.
鼻炎是一种常见疾病，影响着高达20%的普通人群。慢性鼻炎大致可分为过敏性、感染性、非过敏性或非感染性，主要通过详细的病史和过敏测试来区分。非过敏性鼻炎的病理生理学可能涉及炎症和神经源性机制的组合，对此了解甚少。治疗方法包括尽可能避免接触致病因素，并使用适当的药物来控制患者的主要症状。
