| Spanish abstract | La rinitis es la enfermedad respiratoria crónica más frecuente en la mayor parte del mundo y se estima que afecta a alrededor de 600 millones de personas. La rinitis alérgica es un problema global de salud pública, porque los síntomas nasales ocasionan deterioro de la calidad de vida, alteración del sueño, ausentismo escolar, laboral y gastos en salud. La rinitis se asocia frecuentemente con otras comorbilidades, como sinusitis, otitis media y, especialmente, asma. La rinitis está subdiagnosticada y subtratada en la mayoría de los pacientes. ARIA es una guía basada en evidencias para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la rinitis, con énfasis en sus comorbilidades (2001), cuya actualización se editó en 2008. Esta guía recomienda los antihistamínicos de segunda generación, corticoesteoides intranasales, antileucotrienos e inmunoterapia para el tratamiento de la rinitis; además, proporciona un cuestionario para evaluar el asma y su severidad. Al igual que otras partes del mundo, la rinitis también es un problema de salud pública en América Latina |
| English abstract | Rhinitis is the most frequent respiratory disease in most countries of the world. It is estimated that 600 million people suffer this condition. Allergic rhinitis is a public health problem at global level. Patients who suffer allergic rhinitis have from mild to annoying nasal symptoms which affect quality of life, cause sleep disorders, scholar and workplace absenteeism, and health expenditure. Rhinitis is frequently associated to co-morbidities such as sinusitis, otitis media, and especially asthma. Rhinitis is under-diagnosed and under-treated worldwide and also in Latin American countries. ARIA is the very first evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of rhinitis with focus in its co-morbidities (2001), especially asthma published in 2001. In 2008 an update was published. ARIA recommends an integrative approach for management; including anti-histamines (second generation), intra-nasal corticosteroids, anti-leukotrienes and immunotherapy. It also provides a questionnaire to evaluate asthma and its severity in those patients suffering rhinitis. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis is quite high in Latin American countries and in recent years a great insight on the burden of this condition has been gained |
