The treatment of allergic rhinitis improves the recovery from asthma and upper respiratory infections
Palavras-chave:
Asthma in children, Allergic rhinitis and asthma, Asthma and respiratory infectionResumo
MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Quarenta e seis crianças asmáticas com repetidas infecções respiratórias apresentaram sintomas de rinite alérgica. Todos os pacientes foram tratados localizadamente da rinite alérgica isolada com cromoglicato de disódio e dipropionato de beclometasona. RESULTADOS: Após seis meses de tratamento, 95% das crianças mostraram melhora da rinite alérgica e 84% melhora de bronquite asmática, bem como de infecções menores. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que a rinite alérgica desempenha importante papel na facilitação de infecções do trato respiratório superior, e a possível associação entre rinite, infecções virais e bronquite asmática é discutida.
