Allergic rhinitis is a respiratory disease caused by an inflammatory process related to IgE mediated reaction versus allergens to which the subject is sensitized. Allergic rhinitis is not an isolated disease because the nasal mucosa inflammation involves paranasal sinuses and lower airways, thus worsening the asthmatic symptoms. Recently, a new classification of allergic rhinitis based on the duration and severity of clinical symptoms has been proposed. This classification takes into consideration both the quality of life and the possible impact of the symptoms on school, work and free-time activities. Children's quality of life is severely compromised by frequent night awakenings, easy fatigue, defects of language and irritability, which can have a negative influence on learning abilities. Allergic rhinitis has a negative impact on the quality of life of the whole family because it can cause interference on social life, and financial costs.
变应性鼻炎是一种呼吸道疾病，由 IgE 介导的过敏反应引起，涉及对变应原的过敏。变应性鼻炎不是一种孤立的疾病，因为鼻黏膜炎症会累及副鼻窦和下呼吸道，从而加重哮喘症状。最近，根据临床症状的持续时间和严重程度，提出了一种新的变应性鼻炎分类。这种分类既考虑了生活质量，也考虑了症状对学校、工作和业余活动的可能影响。儿童的生活质量因频繁夜醒、易疲劳、语言缺陷和烦躁不安而严重受损，这可能会对学习能力产生负面影响。变应性鼻炎会对整个家庭的生活质量产生负面影响，因为它会干扰社会生活和造成经济成本。
