Allergic rhinitis and asthma diagnosis and treatment of joint.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Allergic rhinitis and asthma diagnosis and treatment of joint Allergic rhinitis and asthma are airway inflammation, and often coexist in the same patients, about 21% ~ 58% of patients with allergic rhinitis associated with asthma, but asthma patients with allergic rhinitis, who account for about 28% ~ 92%. Grossman even more clearly that ‘one airway, one disease’ point of view, to emphasize the integrity of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Now believe, allergic rhinitis and asthma is not a separate existence of the disease, has been a different researchers called ‘allergic rhinitis - asthma syndrome’, ‘United Aikido disease’, ‘nasal allergic bronchitis’ or’ full - airway inflammation syndrome ‘. More evidence to support the allergic rhinitis - asthma syndrome in the name of this new medical diagnosis. Belong to the same nasal and bronchial airways, in terms of anatomy or physiology point of view, the nose and bronchial and lung a very close relationship. Lumen similarities between the upper and lower respiratory tract, mucous membrane continuous, mucosal surface covered with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium and continuous basement membrane, blood vessels, mucus glands, inflammatory cells and nerves. This anatomical structure of the upper and lower respiratory tract and histological characteristics, making the nose, bronchi and lungs with a significant correlation between the. Subjected to some kind of respiratory any part of the stimulus (such as allergens, pollutants, viruses, bacteria, etc.) can produce similar responses. Inflammation in allergic rhinitis and asthma in the pathogenesis play a key role. Allergic rhinitis and asthma are allergic inflammation associated with mucosal immune diseases, inflammation of the upper and lower respiratory tract often co-exist. Upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract is functionally interrelated to stimulate the nasal mucosa (such as the nasal mucosa provocation test
