Popis: A mathematical model of the neural network has been used to classify sick women with diagnosed allergic and vasomotor rhinitis in three forms: allergic rhinitis (ARhinitis), vasomotor rhinitis (VRhinitis) and mixed rhinitis (MRhinitis). When checking the incidence, the information-significant symptoms that we identified in the categories «Complaints» and “Objective status”, it was found that these symptoms are present in all forms of rhinitis and many of them are indistinguishable by the frequency of occurrence. These three forms of rhinitis with a triad of symptoms can be interpreted as an allergic disease of the nasal mucosa. Mixed rhinitis for the majority of information-significant symptoms in these two categories should be attributed to local allergic rhinitis (LAR). The full manifestation of information-significant symptoms in some patients depends on the duration of the disease and the individual characteristics of the body, which affects the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and local allergic rhinitis. The term “Vasomotor rhinitis” should be excluded and interpreted as allergic rhinitis. We have convincingly proved that vasomotor rhinitis is a synonym for allergic rhinitis and is treated according to the standard of allergic pathology of the body. At present it is necessary to distinguish two forms of allergic rhinitis: allergic rhinitis, and local allergic rhinitis, depending on the identified information-significant symptoms in the patient at the time of the visit to the doctor.
