Abstract

Purpose of Review

Most children and adolescents with allergic rhinitis (AR) present extra-nasal multimorbid conditions, including conjunctivitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, rhinosinusitis, or seromucous otitis. Additionally, they may present nasal obstructive disorders, such as septal deformity, turbinate enlargement, and adenoidal hyperplasia, which worsen nasal symptoms, especially nasal obstruction. This is a narrative review on the current state of the concomitant presence of AR and one or more multimorbidities.

Recent Findings

The presence of AR and one or more accompanying multimorbidities is associated to a higher severity and duration of the disease, a negative impact on quality of life, with worse control and lack of improvement with medical treatment. Therefore, AR needs to be managed with a multidisciplinary collaborative approach.

Summary

Pediatric AR needs to be considered in the context of a systemic disease, which requires a coordinated therapeutic strategy.
