Research progress on non-specific immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis

Abstract

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common and frequently-occurring disease in Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Due to the prolonged course of disease and frequent episodes, AR will not only affect physical and mental health and the quality of life of patients, but also increase the burden of social medical and health care. Currently, although multiple clinical interventions have been adopted to treat AR, some patients could not achieve satisfactory clinical efficacy. With the in-depth study on the pathogenesis of AR in recent years, non-specific immunotherapy has gradually attracted the attention of clinicians. In this article, recent research progress on clinical application of non-specific immunotherapy for AR was reviewed, aiming to provide references for further in-depth research.
