Allergic disease is very common in the U.S. population and even more common in children seen by otolaryngologists. Allergy causes or contributes to virtually all of the diseases in the respiratory tract that otolaryngologists, particularly otolaryngic allergists, evaluate and treat. The signs and symptoms of allergic disease in the pediatric patient are reviewed to improve the appreciation of the role of allergy in pediatric otolaryngology. Recent research developments, which are reviewed in detail in this article, underscore the importance of allergic, inflammatory response in rhinosinusitis. The key to long-term therapeutic success, particularly in pediatric rhinosinusitis, is management of the underlying allergic diathesis.
在美国人群中，过敏性疾病非常常见，在耳鼻喉科医生诊治的儿童中更为常见。过敏实际上是耳鼻喉科医生（尤其是耳鼻喉科过敏专科医生）评估和治疗的几乎所有呼吸道疾病的病因或促成因素。本文回顾了儿科患者过敏性疾病的体征和症状，以提高对过敏在儿科耳鼻喉科中作用的认识。本文详细回顾的最新研究进展强调了变应性炎症反应在鼻窦炎中的重要性。长期治疗成功的关键，尤其是在儿科鼻窦炎中，是对潜在过敏素质的管理。
