Abstract:Local Allergic Rhinitis (LAR) is a newly proposed phenotype of allergic rhinitis in recent years,which is defined as the localized nasal type I allergic response in non-atopic patients.Patients have clinical symptoms of itching, sneezing, runny nose and nasal obstruction with nasal provocation test and/or local specific IgE positive. Part of LAR can develop into allergic rhinitis(AR)or complicate with conjunctivitis and/or asthma. Allergen immunotherapy is proved to be effective. Although the skin prick test and serum specific IgE were not positive, these patients responded to allergen immunotherapy.At present, the understanding of the concept of LAR is relatively preliminary.This paper reviewed the advances in the general situation, diagnosis, pathology, immune mechanism and treatment of LAR,and its relationship with other specific diseases in recent years.
