Abstract

Allergic rhinitis is the most common chronic rhinitis in children and is the most common allergic disease in childhood and adolescence in Korea and most countries around the world. In this review article, we have summarized some of the research articles on allergic rhinitis that have been published in the Korean Academy of Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Disease (KAPARD) Journals so far in order to celebrate and look back on the 30th anniversary of the KAPARD. Over the past 30 years, the members of the KAPARD have published many research papers on the epidemiology, causes, risk factors, and comorbid conditions of allergic rhinitis based on "˜one airway diseases' and treatment and we hope that these studies will be helpful not only in confirming the research capacity of KAPARD but also in setting up research subjects and research topics related to allergic rhinitis in the future.
