Upper and lower airway diseases often coexist, causing symptoms like sneezing and bronchospasm. This review examines the link between upper airway conditions and asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology and Allergy

Background:

  • The upper airways (nose, pharynx, mouth) and lower airways (tracheobronchial tree) facilitate gas exchange.
  • Conditions like rhinitis, sinusitis, and bronchitis can cause airway obstruction.
  • Simultaneous upper and lower airway diseases, including asthma, are common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the simultaneous occurrence of upper airway diseases and asthma.
  • To explore the pathophysiological links between these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating upper airway diseases and asthma.
  • Analysis of clinical data and pathophysiological mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Upper airway diseases frequently co-exist with asthma.

  • Inflammation and obstruction in the upper airways can exacerbate lower airway symptoms.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding the connection between upper and lower airway diseases is crucial for effective asthma management.
    • Integrated treatment approaches may improve patient outcomes.
