Histamine plays a major role in allergic rhinitis. In susceptible individuals, allergen induces nasal mast cell degranulation and the release of histamine into the nasal mucosa. Histamine has been detected after controlled challenges with allergen and, when administered into the nasal cavity, elicits signs and symptoms similar to those elicited by allergen. All four histamine receptors have been demonstrated in the nasal mucosa. The role of the four histamine receptors in the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis are discussed. © 2010 Landes Bioscience and Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
