Herein, presented the actual data about allergic rhinitis classification, its clinical signs, modern diagnostics (clinical, laboratory, and instrumental), and differential diagnostics of allergic rhinitis.

The authors describe in detail the existing healthcare options for patients with allergic rhinitis, diagnostics features and care in partial groups of population (children, pregnant women). The clinical guidelines are recommended for medical doctors (independently from qualification), under- and postgraduate students, universities tutors, residents, and researchers.
