CALLE, Ana; SANTAMARIA, Luis; SANCHEZ, Jorge  and  CARDONA, Ricardo. The current state of the knowledge about local allergic rhinitis. Rev. alerg. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.67, n.1, pp.54-61.  Epub Sep 16, 2020. ISSN 2448-9190.  https://doi.org/10.29262/ram.v67i1.522.

In recent years, a new phenotype of rhinitis has been described; it is characterized by the local production of specific IgE. There isn’t any evidence of systemic atopy and it has been called local allergic rhinitis. Understanding the involved physiopathological mechanisms and the behavior of this phenotype translates into the development of strategies and treatments that improve the quality of life of patients with this disease. Below, we present an updated review of the available information regarding this disease and also of the aspects that are yet unresolved.

Keywords : Allergy; Atopy; Immunotherapy; Local allergic rhinitis.
