Abstrakt: | Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition characterized by nasal inflammation, sneezing, congestion, and itching, significantly impacting quality of life. Over recent years, considerable advancements have been made in understanding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of AR. This narrative review aims to synthesize these recent developments, providing a comprehensive overview of key areas. Emerging insights into AR pathophysiology have elucidated the complex interplay between genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and immune system dysregulation. Notably, the role of the epithelial barrier and the microbiome in AR pathogenesis has garnered increasing attention, offering potential targets for novel therapies. Advances in diagnostic technologies, such as component-resolved diagnostics and molecular allergology, have enhanced the precision of allergy identification, enabling more personalized treatment approaches. In terms of management, significant progress has been made in pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Novel biologics targeting specific pathways involved in AR, including monoclonal antibodies against immunoglobulin (Ig)E and interleukin (IL)-4/13, have shown promise in reducing symptoms in refractory cases. Additionally, there has been a resurgence in interest in non-pharmacological strategies, including allergen avoidance, immunotherapy, and complementary therapies, which offer holistic options for patient care. The integration of digital health tools and mobile applications in AR management has further empowered patients, allowing for real-time symptom tracking and personalized treatment adjustments. Recent guidelines emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to AR management, promoting integrated care models that involve collaboration between allergists, primary care providers, and other specialists. These guidelines also highlight the importance of patient-centered care, advocating for shared decision-making and tailored treatment plans based on individual patient profiles. In conclusion, the landscape of allergic rhinitis management is rapidly evolving, with ongoing research and innovation paving the way for improved outcomes. This review underscores the importance of staying abreast of these advances to optimize the care and quality of life for individuals affected by allergic rhinitis.
