| Popis: | Forty-six asthmatic children with repeated respiratory infections presented symptoms of allergic rhinitis. All patients were treated locally for allergic rhinitis either with disodium cromoglycate or beclomethasone dipropionate. After six months of treatment, 95% of the children showed improvement of allergic rhinitis and 84% improvement of bronchial asthma, as well as fewer infections. We concluded that allergic rhinitis plays an important role in facilitating infections of the upper respiratory tract, and a possible association of rhinitis, viral infections and bronchial asthma is discussed. 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. |
