Subscribe now >> Nasal Discomfort Can Be Caused By Irritants on the Job Occupational rhinitis (OR) is the name given to inflammation of the membranes lining the nose caused by exposure to job-related irritants or substances inducing allergy. It is characterized by sneezing, congestion, postnasal drainage and related symptoms. In one type of OR, allergic occupational rhinitis, the time between exposure to irritants and development of symptoms may range from two months to 18 years. However, irritant or non-allergenic OR may occur immediately after a high level of exposure to job-related irritants. Up to 15% of people suffer from occupational rhinitis and this number may be an underestimate because workers may not report symptoms for fear of repercussions at work. OR may be further underestimated because the symptoms don't always occur at work and may be difficult to connect to the job. Workers at particular risk of developing OR are those with a personal or family history of allergic diseases. A study of laboratory workers exposed to rats found that 45% of atopic patients those with positive skin tests for mites and grass allergies became allergic to rats within their first year on the job, compared to only 3% of non-atopic patients. Smoking also may be a risk factor for OR caused by certain chemicals.

65. Hayfever And Allergic Rhinitis Understanding Allergy, explaining Food Allergies, Allergy Testing and AllergicReactions, Information on allergies, Member of British Allergy Society. http://www.allergy-clinic.co.uk/hayfever.htm

Surrey Allergy Clinic Hayfever (Allergic Rhinitis and conjunctivitis). by Dr Adrian Morris. The problem with allergies such as Hay fever and Allergic Rhinitis is that it is considered to be a trivial and inconsequential disease. Symptoms such as runny nose, itchy eyes and nose with sneezing and blockage are obviously not life threatening, but affect up to 25% of the population and are the cause of significant disability and cost to society. Patients may also experience fatigue, irritability, as well as mood, cognitive and sleep disturbance in addition to the nasal, ocular and throat symptoms. Allergic rhinitis has important co-morbid associations such as chronic sinusitis, glue ear, asthma exacerbations, nasal polyps, sleep apnoea and dental malocclusion. Chronic Allergic Rhinitis sufferers often have typical facial features called the "allergy face". Nasal blockage and sinus congestion predispose to the bluish discolouration of the lower eyelids called "allergic shiners", the characteristic linear creases under the eyelid are referred to as "Dennes lines". Constant nasal rubbing typifies the "allergic salute" and results in a prominent "nasal crease" across the nose. Continuous nasal blockage causes "nasal" speech and mouth breathing with disturbed sleep. This results in a high arched palate and the "long face syndrome" with dental crowding and malocclusion ("Buck teeth"). Allergic rhinitis may be either seasonal or perennial:

Skip to content Home Body map List of conditions ... Home Rhinitis Rhinitis What is Rhinitis? Rhinitis is inflammation of the lining of the nose, which may be caused by allergies or other factors such as cigarette smoke, changes in temperature, exercise and stress. An allergy is a reaction by the body which happens in some people who are sensitive to chemical substances from various things present in the environment. Allergic rhinitis is characterised by an itchy/runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. Other allergic symptoms include tickly throat, problems with ears feeling blocked up, red/watery eyes, cough, fatigue/loss of concentration/lack of energy from loss of sleep, and headaches or facial tenderness. How do you get Rhinitis? There are different types of rhinitis: Seasonal allergic rhinitis (also called hayfever) is usually caused by pollen in the air from plants, grasses or trees. Sensitive patients have symptoms during times of peak pollen levels during the year. Perennial allergic rhinitis, a type of chronic rhinitis, is a year-round problem. It is often caused by indoor allergens (things which stimulate an allergic reaction), such as dust and animal dander. Non-allergic rhinitis (also called vasomotor rhinitis) occurs in those patients in whom an allergic cause cannot be identified. Vasomotor rhinitis is thought to occur because of abnormal regulation of nasal blood flow.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever is a condition caused by allergy to pollen from plants that flower seasonally (usually spring or fall). Usual symptoms include nasal stuffiness, runny nose, sneezing, itching in the nose and throat, itchy, watery red eyes, fatigue, and headache. The disease is caused by airborne allergens: mainly pollen, mold, animal hair and animal skin scales. Symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis occur persistently when there is allergy to perennially present allergens (e.g., cats, house dust mites). Allergic rhinitis affects at least 35% of the population and often needs treatment to improve quality of life and reduce risk of complications including sinusitis allergic asthma eye inflammation fluid in the middle ears causing pain and reduced hearing excessive mucus drainage in the throat and hoarseness from laryngitis snoring at night from nasal obstruction chronic fatigue Allergic rhinitis is often associated with allergic conjunctivitis , a condition caused by pollen and other allergens causing allergic reactions in the outer membrane of the eye.

Rhinitis and Sinusitis Allergic rhinitis is a common disorder, and in recent studies has been shown to affect up to 40% of the population. Its prevalence has doubled over the past 25 years. Final Version 25 November 2000 Clinical presentation Allergic rhinitis can occur at any age, even under the age of two years. Most cases, however, start in the teens or early adult life and improve by middle age. Classical symptoms are sneezing, itching and copious, thin, watery discharge, but nasal obstruction is also often present, especially in perennial rhinitis. Infants with rhinitis have nasal discharge and obstruction and this may interfere with feeding and contribute to irritability. Allergic rhinitis may masquerade as continuous or recurrent colds, frequent sore throats, mouth breathing and snoring, a feeling of pressure over the sinuses, recurrent infective sinusitis, and headaches. Allergic rhinitis should always be considered in young children with recurrent upper respiratory tract and ear infections. Children rarely suffer from nasal polyps, and when they do it is important to exclude cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Adjacent structures such as the Eustacian tube and sinuses (which share a common lining with the nose) may be involved as well. Obstruction to sinus ostia prevents drainage, and stasis of secretions results in sinusitis and recurrent otitis media in children. (fig 1 page 3)

Symptoms are precipitated through contact with seasonal allergens, e.g. wind-borne pollens (grass, trees) or perennial allergens, e.g. animal danders (cats, dogs), feathers, house-dust mites, cockroaches. In the grasslands of South Africa the warm climate creates a pollen season of 10 months, producing 'seasonal' symptoms almost throughout the year. Differential diagnosis.

var MenuLinkedBy='AllWebMenus [2]', awmBN='530'; awmAltUrl=''; Home Medical Reference Patient Education Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever and Rose Fever) and Chronic Nasal Congestion WHAT IS RHINITIS? The Nasal Passages and Daily Congestion The nose is separated into two passages by a wall of cartilage called the septum. The nasal passages are lined with a membrane that produces mucus. Mucus is one of the body's defense systems: The mucus, a thin clear liquid, traps small particles and bacteria that are drawn into the nose as a person breathes. The trapped bacteria usually remain harmless in healthy individuals. Even under normal circumstances, this produces a cycle of congestion and decongestion that occurs continuously throughout the day. When one side of the nose is congested, air passes through the open, or decongested, side. The sides alternate between being wide open and being narrowed. Rhinitis If the congestion becomes severe or other changes occur that irritate the nasal passage, rhinitis develops. Rhinitis describes a group of symptoms that include following: Runny nose.

Supporting Research Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction to airborne particles that primarily affects the nose and eyes. There are two types of allergic rhinitis: seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis, which occurs year-round. Allergens (substances that cause allergic reactions) responsible for allergic rhinitis usually enter the body by inhalation. Hay fever is caused by outdoor allergens, and perennial allergic rhinitis by indoor allergens. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis resemble a cold, except that they occur only at particular times: during certain seasons or weather patterns (hay fever), and around certain animals or small household pests (perennial allergic rhinitis). Millions of people are affected by allergic rhinitis. Many people who have allergic rhinitis also have asthma. Signs and Symptoms Allergic rhinitis can cause many symptoms, including the following:

Allergic Rhinitis What is Allergic Rhinitis? Rhinitis means inflammation of the nasal lining or mucosa. It is characterized by chronic or recurrent sneezing, rhinorrhea (runny nose), itchy and blocked nose, which may be labeled as allergic when an allergen is identified. The most well known form of rhinitis is the common cold, which is infectious rhinitis due to a virus. The hallmark of allergic rhinitis is the temporal relationship of symptoms on exposure to an allergen. Your nose, is not the only organ that may be affected in allergic rhinitis. You may have itching of your eyes (allergic conjunctivitis), throat and ears. There are two types of allergic rhinitis: Seasonal allergic rhinitis or Hay Fever When symptoms are experienced only during spring and/or summer. It is usually due to various types of pollen, which are carried by the wind and easily breathed into the nose. When most people talk about hay fever it usually means seasonal allergic rhinitis.
