Summary

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are rising global respiratory allergies in children. Early diagnosis and management, including specific immunotherapy (SIT), can prevent disease progression and improve quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are prevalent, increasing global respiratory allergic diseases, particularly in developed nations.
  • While childhood asthma is well-documented, less information exists on AR, a common childhood condition, significant asthma risk factor, and comorbidity affecting quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight risk factors for respiratory allergies like asthma and AR.
  • To explore the linkages between these conditions and their management, focusing on allergological aspects in children.
  • To emphasize the role of specific immunotherapy (SIT) in altering disease progression.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on respiratory allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis.
  • Analysis of risk factors, comorbidities, and management strategies.
  • Discussion of the potential of specific immunotherapy (SIT) in pediatric respiratory allergy.

Main Results:

  • Allergic rhinitis is a key risk factor for developing asthma and frequently co-exists with it.
  • Effective management requires addressing allergological aspects and timely interventions.
  • Specific immunotherapy (SIT) shows potential to modify disease natural history and prevent the 'allergic march'.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated management of allergic rhinitis and asthma is crucial for children's health.
  • Timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and referrals are essential for improving quality of life.
  • Specific immunotherapy (SIT) offers a promising approach to prevent the progression of respiratory allergic diseases.
