title: Allergic rhinitis.
abstract: The BEACH program (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) shows that allergic rhinitis was managed six times per 1000 encounters between October 2002 to September 2007. This suggests that general practitioners manage allergic rhinitis about 619 000 times nationally each year.
