Non-allergic rhinitis: Misdiagnosing a common disease. Classification, Diagnosis, Treatment
Michail G. Tzanakakis
University of Crete, Greece
The term "rhinitis" denotes nasal inflammation causing a combination of rhinorrhea, sneezing, congestion, nasal
itch, and/or postnasal drainage. Although allergic rhinitis has a clear definition and its pathophysiology has been
thoroughly investigated, nonallergic rhinitis (NAR) remains poorly defined and understood. There is consensus,
however, that nonallergic rhinitis consists of a variety of heterogeneous conditions and affecting millions of people.
Nonallergic rhinitis includes a heterogeneous group of conditions, involving various triggers and distinct
pathophysiologies. Non allergic vasomotor rhinitis is the most common form of NAR and the diagnosis is based on
a detailed medical history and exclusion of clinically relevant sensitization to airborne allergens. As NAR involves a
variety of conditions, the pathophysiology may vary but can roughly be divided into a classic inflammatory pathway,
neurogenic pathway and other (largely unknown) pathways. Understanding and recognizing the presence of NAR in
a patient is essential for the correct selection of medications and for successful treatment outcomes.
