Classification

Rhinitis can be broadly classified into allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, however, some forms of rhinitis cannot be easily classified into these two categories.[1] A comprehensive classification of rhinitis based on the etiology is depicted below:

Classification of Rhinitis[1][2]
Class Types/causes
Allergic rhinitis US Joint Task Force on Practice Parameters(JTF) classification of allergic rhinitis Seasonal
Perennial
Episodic
Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma(ARIA) classification of allergic rhinitis Intermittent
Persistent
Nonallergic rhinitis Vasomotor rhinitis Irritant triggered
Cold air/Dry air
Exercise
Emotional
Undetermined or poorly defined triggers
Gustatory rhinitis
Infectious Acute
Chronic
NARES

(Nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome)

Occupational rhinitis IgE-mediated

(caused by protein and chemical allergens)

Immune mechanism uncertain

(caused by chemical respiratory sensitizers)

Work-aggravated rhinitis
Other rhinitis syndromes Hormonally induced Gestational
Menstrual cycle related
Drug-induced Rhinitis medicamentosa
Oral contraceptives
Antihypertensives and cardiovascular agents
Aspirin/NSAIDs
