GERD and asthma
نویسنده
چکیده
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and asthma are both common diseases, and hence they often coexist. However, the prevalence of coexistence of asthma and GERD is far more frequent than by chance association alone. In fact, the relationship between GERD and asthma was firstly described in the 19th century, by Willam Osler: "attacks may be due to direct irritation of the bronchial mucosa or... indirectly, too, by reflux influences from the stomach...". 1 Afterwards, many studies have been published addressing the association between GERD and asthma. However, studies have only showed that there is a relationship between GERD and asthma, the causal relationship between the two conditions remains unclear. This article examines the relationship between GERD and asthma and discusses management of asthmatic patients with GERD.

متن کاملInsight Into the Relationship Between Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Asthma.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition that presents with symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. Asthma is an equally common medical condition that often coexists with GERD. The clinical scenario of difficult-to-treat asthma in the setting of concomitant GERD leads to the possibility of GERD-induced asthma. However, asthma may also induce GERD, so confusion has developed...
