Clinical and morphological characteristics of various forms of rhinitis

The correct diagnosis of allergic diseases can be made only after a comprehensive examination. One of the important diagnostic criteria confirming the presence of allergic pathology of the upper respiratory tract is an indication of the presence of eosinophils in the nasal secretion and in a clinical blood analysis. However, these indicators must also be supported by clinical and morphological criteria. The aim of the work is to conduct a comparative clinic-morphological evaluation of various forms of rhinitis in patients using a set of research methods and to give recommendations on differential diagnosis of rhinitis for the optimal methods of their treatment and prevention. The authors used epidemiological, clinical, cytological and morphological methods for studying allergic rhinitis and other forms of rhinitis in patients of different age groups. The results of the study showed that different forms of rhinitis have characteristically morphological features that are revealed at the light-optical and ultrastructural levels. The obtained results on the dynamics of the pathologic process demonstrate disturbances in the metabolism and dysregulation of the cellular humoral mechanisms, which in turn affects the severity of patient complaints and the state of immunity factors in the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity. This should be taken into account in the clinic when treating of patients.
