Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For this Special Issue, Dr. Chawes invites contributions in the form of original articles and reviews to an article collection on allergic rhinitis in childhood not limited to the following themes: 1) the natural history of allergic sensitization, nonallergic and allergic rhinitis during childhood; 2) lifestyle and environmental risk factors for the development of allergic rhinitis in childhood such as air pollution, greenness, tobacco smoke exposure, indoor allergens, respiratory infections, and the microbiome; 3) the role of dietary factors as preventive measures, including breastfeeding, formula feeding, and dietary supplements such as vitamin D; 4) the role of omics for endotyping allergic rhinitis, including genetics, gene expression, epigenetics, pharmacogenomics, and metabolomics; 5) the treatment of allergic rhinitis, including immunological targets for treatment and allergen immunotherapy; and 6) treatment barriers and measures to increase adherence.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Children is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Environmental factors play an important role in the development and exacerbation of allergic rhinitis (AR) in childhood. Indoor air pollution, such as house dust mites and secondhand smoke, can significantly increase the onset of AR, while pet dander may affect the exacerbation of AR symptoms in children. Furthermore, traffic related air pollution and pollen are outdoor air pollutants that can affect immune competency and airway responsiveness, increasing the risk of AR in children. Climate change has increased AR in children, as growth patterns of allergenic species have changed, resulting in longer pollen seasons. More extreme and frequent weather events also contribute to the deterioration of indoor air quality due to climate change. Additionally, viruses provoke respiratory tract infections, worsening the symptoms of AR, while viral infections alter the immune system. Although viruses and pollution influence development and exacerbation of AR, a variety of treatment and prevention options are available for AR patients. The protective influence of vegetation (greenness) is heavily associated with air pollution mitigation, relieving AR exacerbations, while the use of air filters can reduce allergic triggers. Oral antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids are common pharmacotherapy for AR symptoms. In this review, we discuss the environmental risk factors for AR and summarize treatment strategies for preventing and managing AR in children. Full article
