- AlergoCentrum s. r. o., Šumperk
Allergic rhinitis is one of major chronic respiratory diseases. It is an important risk factor for the development of asthma, is associated with
impairments on quality of life and with a substantial social economic impact. The diagnosis of allergic rhinitis is based upon a history,
evaluation of clinical symptoms, skin tests and/or measurement of specific IgE. The treatment of allergic rhinitis encompasses patient
education, enviromental control and pharmacotherapy, both symptomatic and allergen-specific immunotherapy. The management of
allergic rhinitis not only reduces the symptoms and improves the quality of life of allergic patient but also prevents the development of
complications, especially of bronchial asthma.
