Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemical studies show that in allergic rhinitis, the major target of CysLT(1) receptor antagonists are the vascular bed and infiltrated leukocytes such as mast cells, eosinophils and macrophages. CysLT(1) receptor antagonists provide a new opportunity for simultaneous management of allergic diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract.
