18.3 Diagnosis

In daily practice, the diagnosis AR is based on the clinical history and physical examination. To confirm the allergic origin of rhinitis symptoms or to decide whether immunotherapy is indicated, allergy tests are performed [9]. For population-based studies and clinical trials, different questionnaires have been used. The questions “Have you ever had allergic rhinitis?” or “Has a doctor ever told you that you suffer from allergic rhinitis?” seemed the most efficient and unambiguous ones [10]. Additional diagnostic tests, such as a skin prick test or measuring total or specific IgE, did not appear to contribute to diagnosing AR.
