the link between allergic rhinitis and asthma is well known. bronchial hyperreactivity (bhr) may be present in rhinitis. the present study was aimed to compare airway responses in patients  with rhinitis symptoms alone following exercise challenge, and to  determine relationship of two different respiratory function tests. 98 subjects with rhinitis were investigated by spirometry and impulse os...

Background Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common types of rhinitis. Allergen avoidance is the most important way of preventing this disease. The present study is carried out to determine the frequency of common aeroallergens in patients with allergic rhinitis in Gorgan city by skin prick test (SPT) reactivity. Materials and Methods  In this cross-sectional study 270 patients referring t...
