The treatment of allergic rhinitis is shown to improve co-existing conditions including conjunctivitis, asthma, sinusitis, otitis media with effusion (fluid in the middle ear) and sleep disorders according to an international expert at the annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) in Miami Beach, Fla.
"Allergic rhinitis often co-exists with numerous co-morbid disorders and should be treated in the context of systemic allergic disease," said Prof. Ruby Pawankar, M.D., Ph.D, Nippon Medical School ,Tokyo, Japan.
"Allergic rhinitis is a global health problem that causes major illness and disability worldwide. Impairment of quality of life is seen in both adults and children with allergic rhinitis. It affects them at school and work. Patients also have sleep disorders, emotional problems, decreased cognitive functioning impairment in activities and social functioning," Dr. Pawankar said.
Current estimates indicate that more than 50 million people in the United States suffer from allergic rhinitis - allergies that are characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose and watery eyes. It is the most prevalent chronic condition in patients under age 18.
