Introduction:
Asthma and rhinitis are a public health problem around the world with clearly established epidemiological, pathophysiological and clinical links.
Patients And Methods:
Descriptive and prospective observational analytic cross-sectional study with the objective of determining the predictive factors of asthma in allergic rhinitis.
Results:
334 rhinitis patients were included, 228 (68.3%) are female; the average age was 35 years. The association rhinitis and asthma in 17.7%. Several predictive factors of asthma were found in these patients, in particular the severe nature of rhinitis as the first factor, followed by sensitization to mites (OR = 2.31 (1.25-2.23) P = 0.006, poly sensitization (86.8%) OR = 1.69 (0.76-3.74) P = 0.19, personal atopy (84.4%) OR = 2.31 (1.25-2.23) P = 0.006, familial atopy OR = 0.81 (0.48-1.34).
Conclusion:
the search for associated asthma should be systematic in patients with rhinitis and, especially since the rhinitis is pers.

01:20Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
