Sažetak
Close association and significant coexistence between allergic asthma and rhinitis is already defined. The airway inflammation of both diseases has the same immune response path with the similar infalammatory parameters involved. NO is one oft he parameters of local inflammation involved in both allergic rhinitis and asthma. ECP is the parameter of systemic inflammation while FEV1 is parameter of bronchial obstruction. The objective oft his inflammation level as well as in bronchial obstruction level in asthma patients with coexisting rhinitis compared with those asthma alone. Inflammatory response could have been modified with treatments, smoking status and phase oft he disease (exacerbation, stable phase) an therefore further prospective studies should follow.
