Synonym(s)
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Acronym for "non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome". The clinical picture is defined by a non-allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa associated with eosinophilia. This clinical constellation usually occurs together with nasal polyps.
EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.
A precursor symptom of an acetylsalicylic acid-sensitive rhinitis is discussed. Recently, mainly autoimmune phenomena have been discussed.
ManifestationThis section has been translated automatically.
30-40 years
Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.
Clinically, NARES is characterized by perennial rhinitis with nasal obstruction of breathing, recurrent sneezing attacks and possibly low-viscosity rhinorrhea. Associated are adenoids, recurrent infections, headache or head pressure related, intrinsic bronchial asthma.
LaboratoryThis section has been translated automatically.
Eosinophilia and elevated levels of tryptase, ECP, IL-1beta, IL-4, IL-6, IL-17, IFN-gamma, TNF-α and MCP-1 are detected in the nasal secretion of NARES.
DiagnosisThis section has been translated automatically.
Detection of eosinophilic granulocytes in the exfoliative cytology of the mucosa. Exclusion of an allergic genesis. Detection of possibly associated diseases like nasal polyps, intrinsic bronchial asthma.
TherapyThis section has been translated automatically.
The therapy of NARES has so far mainly consisted in the long-term administration of topical corticosteroids, possibly in combination with surgical measures.
Successes have been achieved with systemically applied interferons (e.g. Roferon).
