Abstract:
The association between gastroesophageal reflux and respiratory disease is recognized long time ago. We can distinguish two kinds of asthma: asthma caused by a gastroesophageal reflux and asthma complicated by a gastroesophageal reflux. In the clinic evaluation it is important to establish the nature of reflux. It is essential to effect the Bernstein's test.
