Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic rhinitis is a common respiratory disease that not only can strongly affect the quality of life of many patients but also can be detrimental to work performance and generate productivity and healthcare costs. Inflammatory mechanisms are nowadays better understood, which allows us synthesize more effective treatments and to stablish specific guidelines to facilitate prevention and management of the disease, specially to avoid complications that may appear.
This Special Issue will focus on the causes underlying the occurrence of allergic rhinitis, on the strategies to prevent it and other comorbidities, the patient monitoring during diagnostic, development and treatment of the disease and on healthcare management.
Prof. Dr. Hideyuki Kawauchi
Guest Editor
