Abstract

REVIEW URRENT Asthma and rhinitis: what is the relationship? PINION a b b,c Marie-Eve Boulay , Andre´anne Morin , Catherine Laprise , and Louis-Philippe Boulet Purpose of review Asthma and rhinitis are commonly associated and they influence their respective control.

The measure of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been used to show the presence of lower airway inflammation in rhinitic patients, with or without asthma. Furthermore, it has been shown that allergic rhinitis could affect asthma control in children as in adults, and consequently suggested that allergic rhinitis and asthma should be concomitantly approached in regard to their diagnosis and treatment.
