Causes of Rhinitis
Class
Allergic rhinitis	Indoor and outdoor airborne substances such as: Pollens Molds Dust mite fetal particles Coakroach residues Animal danders
		Nonallergic rhinitis	Vasomotor rhinitis Irritant triggered. e.g chlorine Cold air/Dry air Exercise Emotional Undetermined or poorly defined triggers Trauma
				Gustatory rhinitis- Triggered by solid/liquid food such as Hot food Spicy food Alcohol
				Infectious Viruses - commonly adenoviruses Bacteria Fungi Parasites
					Occupational rhinitis	Caused by protein and chemical allergens, chemical respiratory sensitizers, or unknown mechanisms Pesticides Chemicals such as chromium vapors,
Other rhinitis syndromes	Hormonally induced Gestational/Pregnancy-induced Menstrual cycle related
			Drug-induced Rhinitis medicamentosa Nasal sprays such as such as α-adrenergic decongestants Intranasal cocaine and methamphetamine Oral contraceptives Antihypertensives and cardiovascular agents such as ACE inhibitors, Beta blockers, Phentolamine Aspirin/NSAIDs Other medications such as phosphodiesterase-5 selective inhibitors
	Primary atrophic rhinitis- causes include: Infection with organisms such as Klebsiella ozaenae Turbulent air flow Climate factors Racial factors Secondary atrophic rhinitis- causes include: Extensive surgery Granulomatous diseases Direct trauma Radiotherapy
				Rhinitis associated with inflammatory-immunologic disorders Granulomatous infections Wegener granulomatosis Sarcoidosis Sjogren's syndrome Midline granuloma Churg-Strauss syndrome Relapsing polychondritis Amyloidosis
