Levels of Immunoglobulin E Sensitization Drive Symptom Thresholds in Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common respiratory disease encompassing a variety of phenotypes. Patients can be sensitized to one or more allergens. There are indications that polysensitization is associated with more severe disease. However, the extent to which the level of sensitization is associated to clinical disease variability, underlying the distinct nature of AR from AR+ conjunctivitis or AR+ asthma, is not known.
