title: Rhinitis, not to sniff at.
abstract: Already for years we have ample evidence of the severe impact of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and maybe even more rhinosinusitis on quality of life of our patients and the severe costs these diseases inflict on society. Despite this evidence we have difficulty convincing the politicians, health insurance companies and the public that more attention, research and money is needed to prevent these diseases to occur and to further prevent the sometimes serious sequalae of the disease.
