Abstract
Nasal tissues can be affected by a greater variety of stimuli than is generally considered, stimuli which can produce many different diseases. The manner in which the nose can respond symptomatically and physically is limited so that symptoms and findings in different diseases frequently overlap and the conditions may be difficult to diagnose. An understanding of [human] nasal diseases is only in its infancy. Some of these diseases are outlined and the presence of others is speculated. Classification of nasal disease is presented based on the suspected presence or absence of an immunological mechanism.
