Possibilities of achieving control of allergic rhinitis in a patient with skin sensitization and continued contact with pets

Skin sensitization is becoming an increasingly common pathology among year-round allergies, and its clinical manifestations vary in patients from the discomfort caused by rhinoconjunctivitis to severe bronchial asthma which can have a huge negative impact on the patient’s quality of life. One of the important recommendations when identifying sensitization to epidermal allergens is complete elimination, but in routine practice this recommendation is not followed in most cases due to the inability to part with the animal. Thus, exposure to the allergen persists and the symptoms continue to bother and progress. The article presents a clinical case of achieving control of allergic rhinitis in a patient with skin sensitization and ongoing contact with pets demonstrating successful experience with the use of a fixed combination of olopatadine and mometasone over a long period of observation.
