Abstract
The term "local allergic rhinitis" has gained popularity as a clinical entity in recent years. Despite the apparent contradiction in the definitions of "nasal" and "local," we offer insights based on our extensive experience in the field. Local allergic rhinitis has been recognized and treated for many years, so it is not a new discovery. The nasal provocation test, which was introduced in the 1980s, was critical in identifying allergic rhinitis cases with suggestive symptoms but negative allergy tests. Our reflections aim to contribute to a precise terminological decision that is consistent with various points of view.
