Allergic rhinitis is the most common of atopic diseases and has been estimated to affect up 10–30% of the population. Although rhinitis was once considered to be a medical condition of trivial importace, now is recognized to affect quality of life and impair physical a cognitive functioning. Allergic rhinitis should be considered as a possible concomitant diagnosis in all patiens with bronchial astma, recurrent otitis, chronic sinusitid and nasal polyposis. The same inflammtory mechanisms and inflammatory cells are prezent in nasal and bronchial mucosa. Appropriate antiinflammatory therapy may reduce morbidity associated with these diseases.

Keywords: Key words: allergic rhinitis, allergens, eosinophilic inflammation, asthma.
