Antihistamines have been shown to be effective in seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. They improve quality of life scores, acute inflammatory response markers in atopic dermatitis asthma and symptom scores. Newer histamine H1-receptor antagonists may also have an antiplatelet-activating factor effect and are equally effective in seasonal allergic rhinitis. The antileukotrienes were developed in the 1980s. The first compounds of this novel class of anti-asthma drugs were registered in the second half of the 1990s. The mechanism of action of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) is based on counteracting the effects of cysteinyl leukotrienes at their receptor site (CysLT1 receptor) within the airways.

Leukotrienes are present in increased amounts in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in patients with asthma. So far, no data have been reported about leukotriene levels in non-asthmatic patients with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis. The aim of the study was to find out whether the leukotriene levels in exhaled breath condensate were increased in the non-asthmatic adult patients with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis both during and after the pollen season in comparison with healthy controls, and to assess changes in leukotriene levels after the pollen season. Twentynine non-asthmatic adult patients with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis and 50 healthy non-smoking controls underwent measurement of exhaled leukotrienes in the exhaled breath condensate during and after the pollen season. Spirometry, skin-prick tests and total IgE were also evaluated. (more…)
