Abstract:
The close and constant association of allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, both in children and adults, is hardly mentioned in medical textbooks. Proper treatment is delayed, as these patients are often seen in rotation by chest physicians, allergy experts, otolaryngologists, general physicians and paediatricians. Even then treatment is directed mainly towards asthma with little attention being paid to associated rhinitis, often lying unrecognised in adults. The clinical pattern of asthma in children and adults differs in our country. Unless AR is treated simultaneously with asthma, recurrent AR will result likely in suboptimal control of asthma. Proof and arguement is brougnt forward to recognise the unified concept of nasobronchial allergy or rhinobronchitis for proper management.
