PG - 261-78 LID - S0889-8561(15)00115-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.iac.2015.12.004 [doi] AB - The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) has been estimated at 10% to 40%, and its economic burden is substantial. AR patients develop specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody responses to indoor and outdoor environmental allergens with exposure over time. These specific IgE antibodies bind to high-affinity IgE receptors on mast cells and basophils. Key outcome measures of therapeutic interventions include rhinitis symptom control, rescue medication requirements, and quality-of-life measures. A comprehensive multiple modality treatment plan customized to the individual patient can optimize outcomes. CI - Copyright (c) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
