Objective: To investigate the clinical profile of patients with allergic rhinitis in Central India.
Material and Methods: Tertiary care hospital patients attending the E.N.T. OPD have been taken into account. The history of all sampled patients and the clinical evaluation were detailed and 800 cases were included in this study.
Statistical Analysis: They were articulated in terms of plain proportion.
Results: The majorities of patients are under the age of 30 years and are in the third decade of life. It was observed that the proportion of blockers was much higher than sneezers and runners. Most of the predisposing factors were seasonal and house dust.
Conclusion: Allergic rhinitis can affect the physical, psychological and social aspects as well as the productivity of the job. There is an important need to raise awareness of different types of illness, including prevention, in the community.
Keywords: allergic rhinitis, central India, sneezers.
