Core Tip
Core Tip: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an increasingly common inflammatory disease mediated by immunoglobulin E in response to environmental allergens, substantially impacting the quality of life and healthcare systems worldwide. Recent research has drawn attention to the role of vitamin D, a corticosteroid hormone with immunomodulatory properties, in influencing the onset and severity of allergic diseases, including AR.
