Asthmatic children who also have Allergic Rhinitis seem to have higher morbidity and to use more healthcare resources. This was further investigated to determine the incremental effect of Allergic Rhinitis on healthcare resource use in children with asthma. The data were from a general practice database in the UK and covered the period 1998–2001. Children aged 6–15 years who had an asthma related visit to their general practitioner at least once during a defined 12 month period were reviewed. (more…)

Adjusting the inhaled glucocorticoid dose based on indices of airway inflammation has been proposed as a means of achieving more effective control of asthma than the conventional approach of adjusting steroid dose based on symptoms, lung function and rescue medication use. In a single-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 97 asthmatic patients received fluticasone doses adjusted on the basis either of conventional guidelines or of exhaled nitric oxide fraction (FE NO ).

Specific immunotherapy has been widely used to treat allergic rhinitis symptoms. As with any other form of specific immunotherapy, careful patient selection is crucial. The diagnosis of allergic rhinitis needs to be secure, especially in those with perennial symptoms, and should be based on a careful clinical history supported by documentation of IgE-mediated sensitivity by skin prick test or blood tests.
