ABSTRACT
The pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis can be better appreciated by understanding the numerous protective mechanisms available for mucosal defense. The system of TH2 lymphocytes, IgE production, mast cell degranulation, eosinophil infiltration, and resident cell responses are central to our understanding and treatment of allergic rhinitis. Histamine remains preeminent in causing the cardinal symptoms of the immediate allergic reaction itching, watery discharge, and nasal swelling. Recruitment and activation mechanisms responsible for the late-phase allergic response are also reviewed.
