Overview
Rhinitis can be classified into allergic and nonallergic rhinitis.[1] Some forms of rhinitis are not easily classified as either allergic or nonallergic.[1] The classification of nonallergic rhinitis is challenging due to the diverse etiology and it is not well understood compared to the allergic type.[2] Nonallergic rhinitis can be induced by non-specific triggers such as exposure to chemical odors, cigarette smoke, spicy food, exercise, cold air, etc.[2]
Classification
Rhinitis can be broadly classified into allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, however, some forms of rhinitis cannot be easily classified into these two categories.[1] A comprehensive classification of rhinitis based on the etiology is depicted below:
| Classification of Rhinitis[1][3] | ||
|---|---|---|
| Class | Types/causes | |
| Allergic rhinitis | US Joint Task Force on Practice Parameters(JTF) classification of allergic rhinitis | Seasonal |
| Perennial | ||
| Episodic | ||
| Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma(ARIA) classification of allergic rhinitis | Intermittent | |
| Persistent | ||
| Nonallergic rhinitis | Vasomotor rhinitis | Irritant triggered |
| Cold air/Dry air | ||
| Exercise | ||
| Emotional | ||
| Undetermined or poorly defined triggers | ||
| Gustatory rhinitis | ||
| Infectious | Acute | |
| Chronic | ||
| NARES
(Nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome) |
||
| Occupational rhinitis | IgE-mediated
(caused by protein and chemical allergens) |
|
| Immune mechanism uncertain
(caused by chemical respiratory sensitizers) |
||
| Work-aggravated rhinitis | ||
| Other rhinitis syndromes | Hormonally induced | Gestational |
| Menstrual cycle related | ||
| Drug-induced | Rhinitis medicamentosa | |
| Oral contraceptives | ||
| Antihypertensives and cardiovascular agents | ||
| Aspirin/NSAIDs | ||
| Other drugs | ||
| Atrophic rhinitis | ||
| Rhinitis associated with inflammatory-immunologic disorders | Granulomatous infections | |
| Wegener granulomatosis | ||
| Sarcoidosis | ||
| Midline granuloma | ||
| Churg-Strauss | ||
| Relapsing polychondritis | ||
| Amyloidosis | ||
Allergic rhinitis can also be graded by the level of severity. However, there is no generally accepted method for grading the severity of allergic rhinitis.
| Modified Classification of Allergic Rhinitis According to Severity of Symptoms and Quality of Life Impairment[4][5][6]
| |
|---|---|
| Type of allergic rhinitis | Clinical characteristic |
| Intermittent | Symptoms are present on fewer than four days a week and for less than four weeks |
| Persistent | Symptoms are present on more than four days a week and for more than four consecutive weeks |
