-==Overview==
+==[[Rhinitis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-'''Rhinitis''' is the medical term describing irritation and inflammation of some internal areas of the [[nose]] commonly referred to as a runny nose or cararrh. It causes a discharge or [[mucus]] blockage caused by the swelling of the [[mucous membrane]]s.
-==Historical Perspective==
+==[[Rhinitis classification|Classification]]==
-The word "catarrh" comes from the Greek "katarrhein": ''kata-'' meaning "down" and ''rhein'' meaning "to flow."
-==Causes==
+==[[Rhinitis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-===Common Causes===
-*[[Common cold]]
-*[[Allergy]]
-*[[Hay fever]]
-===Causes in Alphabetical Order===
+==[[Rhinitis causes|Causes]]==
-* [[Adenoid]] infection
-* [[Common cold]]
-* [[Allergy]]
-* [[Hay fever]]
-* [[Otitis media|Middle ear infection]]s
-* [[Sexual intercourse]] (a condition known as sexual catarrh)
-* [[Sinusitis]]
-* [[Tonsillitis]]
-==Epidemiology and Demographics==
+==[[Rhinitis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Rhinitis from other Diseases]]==
-According to recent studies completed in the United States, more than fifty millon Americans are current sufferers.
-==Natural History, Complications, Prognosis==
+==[[Rhinitis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-Rhinitis has also been found to adversely affect more than just the nose, throat, and eyes.  It has been associated with [[sleeping problems]], problems with the ears, and even been linked to learning problems.
-===Complicaitons===
+==[[Rhinitis risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-Catarrh can result in the inability of the [[Eustachian tube]] to equalize the pressure on the two sides of the eardrum resulting in pain and damage to the [[eardrum]] ([[barotrauma]]).
-As a result of the inability to equalize the pressure, there can be a buildup of pressure around the eardrum which results in ear pain. As a result, catarrh can result in discomfort with changes in air pressure such as those that accompany:
-*Elevators
-*Airplanes
-*Traveling at elevation
-and other activities associated with a change in air pressure.
-Even the shallow end of a swimming pool can be problematic to the person with catarrh in so far as [[barotrauma]] to the middle ear can occur in as little as 4 feet of water.

-The primary symptom of rhinitis is a [[runny nose]].
-==Classification==
-There are two types of Rhinitis that the general population may suffer from: [[allergic rhinitis]] and nonallergic rhinitis. Rhinitis is considered [[IgE]]-mediated when the sufferer is classified as having [[allergic rhinitis]].
-See also [[hay fever]] or [[seasonal rhinitis]] or [[nasopharyngeal rhinitis]] or the [[common cold]].
-==Common causes==
-Some of the most common causes that may bring about the presence of rhinitis include:
-*Food Reactions
-*Emotional
-*Occupational
-*Hormonal
-*Anatomic Defects
-*[[Immunodeficiency]] diseases
-*[[Primary ciliary dyskinesia|Ciliary dyskinesia]]
-*Animal Interraction
-==Testing for rhinitis==
-For assessing the possibility of allergies, skin testing, when possible, is the preferred method in comparison with various in vitro tests because it is more sensitive and specific, simpler to use, and less expensive <ref>http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/inside.asp?AID=3978&UID=</ref>
-<ref>{{cite journal | last = Ten | first = R | title = Allergy Skin Testing | journal = Mayo Clin Proc | volume = 5 | issue = 70 | pages = 783-4 | year = 1995 | id = pmid 7630219}}</ref>
-The typical method of diagnosis and monitoring of allergic rhinitis is skin testing, also known as "scratch testing" and "prick testing" due to the series of pricks and/or scratches made into the patient's skin. Small amounts of suspected allergens and/or their extracts (pollen, grass, mite proteins, peanut extract, etc.) are introduced to sites on the skin marked with pen or dye. The allergens are either injected intradermally or into small scratches made into the patient's skin, often with a small plastic device. Common areas for testing include the inside forearm and the back.
-Testing can be either single antigen or multiple antigen testing. Both test the skin for effects of different substances.

-The management of rhinitis is mainly medical. Treatment for seasonal rhinitis is only needed during the appropriate time of the year. Current treatments include:
+==Case Studies==
-*Antihistamine pills and sprays
-*Leukotriene antagonists
-*Nasal corticosteroid sprays
-*Decongestant pills or sprays
-*[[Allergen immunotherapy]]
-*Nasal obstruction in perennial rhinitis may be treated by surgery.
