Historical Perspective

There is a paucity of literature on the historical perspective of rhinitis. However, words like "catarrh" have been used as far back as the 15th century. The word "catarrh" was coined from the word "katarrhein" which means to flow down. The origin is from Greek(katarrhous), Middle English (catarre), Medieval French (catarrhe) and Late Latin(catarrhus).
