Abstract

Allergic disease has been an integral part of rhinology for many decades. However, the science of allergy has evolved over the years and has greatly enhanced our knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms involved.

Allergy has also developed into a specialist field of its own with dedicated trained allergists. Within ENT, there is now a substantial variation in the practice and understanding of allergy, particularly on the international scale, where many countries will have ENT surgeons who manage a dedicated allergy service.

However, whilst rhinologists will invariably manage patients with allergy in their clinical service, many will not have a dedicated interest, and the understanding of this now complex field will vary considerably.

This chapter addresses the principles and science of allergy as it relates to otorhinolaryngology, with the intention of explaining a complex field for the ENT surgeon rather than a specialist allergist. The clinical aspects of allergic rhinitis are dealt with elsewhere (please refer to Chap. 20).
