Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Rhinitis is a very common disease with significant financial impact on the society.[1] Chronic rhinitis is one of the commonest problems seen by physicians.[2] Symptoms usually resolve within 7-10 days of onset.[2][3] Allergic rhinitis was to estimated to affect one in every six Americans, and it is the fifth most chronic disease in the U.S.[4] Allergic rhinitis is the most common chronic disease in the pediatric age group in the U.S,[4] it was the most common diagnosis reported in the 2000 Otolaryngology Workforce study.[5] The estimated prevalence of allergic rhinitis ranges from 9-42%.[3] Annually, between 30-60 million people in the U.S suffer from allergic rhinitis, 10-30% of these individuals are adults, and up to 40% are children.[2] Nonallergic rhinitis is also very common, and it has been estimated to affect about 19 million people in the U.S.[3] Nonallergic rhinitis is predominantly seen in females, and the onset is often after the age of 20 years.[3] Sometimes, there is an overlap between allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, referred to as "mixed rhinitis", and this has been estimated to affect about 26 million individuals in the United States.[3]
