Background Long non‐coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (lnc‐PVT1) exacerbates inflammation and induces T helper (Th) 1/Th2 imbalance in allergic diseases, but its clinical role in allergic rhinitis (AR) remains unclear. Hence, we conducted this study to compare lnc‐PVT1 expression among AR children, disease controls (DCs), and health controls (HCs), aiming to investigate its clinical application in AR children. Methods Sixty AR children, 30 DCs, and 30 HCs were enrolled in the study, and then, their lnc‐PVT1 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cell was detected. Serum interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ), interleukin 10 (IL‐10), Th1, and Th2 cells in AR children were also analyzed. Besides, lnc‐PVT1 was also detected at Week (W)4 after treatment in AR patients. Results Lnc‐PVT1 was upregulated in AR children compared with DCs and HCs (both p
