Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis denotes both nasal and ocular manifestation of allergy, which may be solely treated with intranasal steroid. This study compares the efficacy of mometasone furoate nasal spray (NS) and fluticasone furoate NS in treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. The secondary objective is to study the severity of baseline ocular symptoms in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Seve...

Allergic rhinitis is a disease that can be seen in almost one third of societies and affect the quality life. It has various symptoms also combined with other diseases. Although treatment method vary based on patient's characteristics, generally, avoiding allergen, which considered to source allergy, pharmacotherapy are sufficient.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to observe whether environmental factors and phenotypic traits are associated with owner-reported skin problems and with veterinary diagnosed canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). Data were collected using the validated online DOGRISK questionnaire. Out of the data that the questionnaire provides for analysis, focus was first turned towards addressing questio...

BACKGROUND Nasal challenge studies have suggested histamine and cysteinyl leukotrienes are important proinflammatory mediators in allergic rhinitis. This study was designed to determine the efficacy of montelukast, a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, administered alone or concomitantly with loratadine, an H(1)-receptor antagonist, in seasonal allergic rhinitis. OBJECTIVE The purpose ...

Abstract Background Nasal nitric oxide (nNO), a noninvasive indicator for eosinophilic airway inflammation, has not been adequately studied in different types of rhinitis. The aim this study was to compare nNO levels between allergic (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR). Patients were included based on their chronic nasal symptoms. Total symptoms score (TNSS) evaluated. measured transnasally wi...

The efficacy and safety of loratadine 10 mg once daily were compared with azatadine 1 mg twice daily in controlling symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. The study was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group design involving 34 patients receiving either loratadine or azatadine for 14 days. Both treatments were effective in relieving the histamine-mediated symptoms of seasonal allergic rhin...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine whether there is any correlation between results of the skin-prick test and the severity of symptoms in allergic rhinitis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 150 patients with persistent or intermittent allergic rhinitis confirmed by positive skin tests and scaled from 1 to 4 according to the size of the wheal. The symptoms including sneezing...

The aim of this study was to perform the analysis of hematological parameters in patients with allergic rhinitis symptoms. 181 patients underwent the skin prick test and completed the symptoms inquiry form were included in the study. We measured RBC (Red blood cells), Hb (hemoglobin), Htc (hemotocrit), WBC (white blood cells), PLT (platelet) and MPV (mean platelet volume) of the subjects. The r...

Global phthalate ester production has increased from very low levels at the end of World War II to approximately 3.5 million metric tons/year. The aim of the present study was to investigate potential associations between persistent allergic symptoms in children, which have increased markedly in developed countries over the past three decades, and the concentration of phthalates in dust collect...

inhalation of fungal spores is shown to participate in the development of allergic rhinitis symptoms. in this study, relation between presence of alternaria in the human nasal cavity and allergic rhinitis is assessed. in a case-control study, 58 allergic rhinitis patients were compared with a well-matched control group of fifty healthy volunteers for sensitization to alternaria (by skin prick t...
