The correlation of rhinitis with asthmatic symptoms in children
Journal Title: Αρχεία Ελληνικής Ιατρικής - Year 2011, Vol 28, Issue 5
Abstract
The co-morbidity of rhinitis with asthma symptomatology in children gives rise to the "one disease of the airways" theory, for which three explicatory pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed. Although the diseases of the upper and lower airway system have common etiology, epidemiology and immunology, there are important differences related to the cytology, immunity and genetics, and the age and environmental biology of the affected children, substantiating the thesis that the relationship between rhinitis and asthma is multifactorial.
