MODERN PRINCIPLES OF ALLERGIC RHINITIS THERAPY IN CHILDREN

The article is dedicated to allergic rhinitis (AR) in children. AR is widespread among children and adolescents; it negatively affects physical and psychological condition, social life and school performance and reduces life quality of both patients and members of their families. The authors consider the most modern approaches to diagnostics and control over the disease and present evidence-based recommendations. The authors offer the relevant classification; describe classic and additional disease symptoms and list the key nosological forms of differential diagnostic search. The complex of therapeutic measures to be taken at AR is aimed at relieving devastating symptoms of the disease and involves limitation of contacts with pathogenetically significant allergens, drug therapy, specific immunotherapy and education. Preventive measures are aimed at preventing development of sensitization/manifestation/aggravation of the AR course. The information given in the article is aimed at spreading the main principles of AR therapy and increasing accessibility of the modern methods of control over allergic diseases.Key words: allergic rhinitis; children; control; therapy
