Сlinical features of changes in the microcirculation system among children with allergic rhinitis, depending on the severity of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system by N. S. Tataurschikova, P. V. Berezhansky

“…Microcirculatory mechanisms are of great pathogenetic significance in the development of allergic inflammation, including in AR.Depending on the leading pathognomonic trait, it is now customary to distinguish individual phenotypes and endotypes of AR.The phenotype covers the clinically significant properties of AR, but does not reveal the detailed mechanisms of its development, on the basis of which a personalized algorithm for prevention, treatment and prognosis can be created.And the autonomic nervous system is responsible for setting links between the body, ambient and internal environment through the regulation of metabolism, functioning of organs and tissues based on changes in this environment; it also provides the integration of all organs into a single whole acting as one of the main body’s adaptive systems.Since the autonomic nervous system governs the body and homeostasis uniting separate pathogenetic links of disease progression and sets the basis for structural and functional unity. …”
