Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical profile of patients with allergic rhinitis in Central India.
 Material and Methods: Tertiary care hospital patients attending the E.N.T. OPD have been taken into account. The history of all sampled patients and the clinical evaluation were detailed and 800 cases were included in this study.
 Statistical Analysis: They were articulated in terms of plain proportion.
 Results: The majorities of patients are under the age of 30 years and are in the third decade of life. It was observed that the proportion of blockers was much higher than sneezers and runners. Most of the predisposing factors were seasonal and house dust.
 Conclusion: Allergic rhinitis can affect the physical, psychological and social aspects as well as the productivity of the job. There is an important need to raise awareness of different types of illness, including prevention, in the community.
 Keywords: allergic rhinitis, central India, sneezers.

Summary

Introduction

Allergic rhinitis is a public health problem. In India, the burden of allergic rhinitis is tremendous, accounting for about 55% of all allergies. Patients with allergic rhinitis are known as sneezers-runners and blockers because of their particular clinical profile and need for particular approaches to treatment. Mild symptoms Sleep disorders, impairment of everyday activities, impairment of work or school or other troubling symptoms mean that none of the following things are present. If it is called moderate / severe, one of the above things is present and symptoms are constant, day and night, but can intensify during the night[6]. The current research aims to define the clinical profile of patients with allergic rhinitis and to describe the relationship between prevalent symptoms of the disease and popular predisposing factors, type and severity of the disease
