  • Title: Allergic rhinosinusitis in the pediatric population.
    Author: Cook PR, Nishioka GJ.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1996 Feb; 29(1):39-56. PubMed ID: 8834271.
    Abstract:
    Allergic disease is very common in the U.S. population and even more common in children seen by otolaryngologists. Allergy causes or contributes to virtually all of the diseases in the respiratory tract that otolaryngologists, particularly otolaryngic allergists, evaluate and treat. The signs and symptoms of allergic disease in the pediatric patient are reviewed to improve the appreciation of the role of allergy in pediatric otolaryngology. Recent research developments, which are reviewed in detail in this article, underscore the importance of allergic, inflammatory response in rhinosinusitis. The key to long-term therapeutic success, particularly in pediatric rhinosinusitis, is management of the underlying allergic diathesis.
