“…Housewives are most commonly affected (30.3%), and students are second (23.0%). Similar study done in Bangladesh showed student to be most affected (38%) and housewives secondly (30% 12 , including asthma 13,14 . We have seen that allergic conjunctivitis (18.6%) is the common co-morbid condition similar to other study which showed allergic conjunctivitis (13%) 15 and sinusitis (8.9%) is of the second in percentage.…”

Allergic rhinitis (AR), an allergen-induced infl ammation of the nasal mucosa, is frequently associated with co-morbid conditions. It is important to recognize the onset and existence of these co-morbid conditions, for adequate treatment and prevention of the development of new allergen sensitizations and air-way hypersensitivities. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of co-morbid conditions associated with AR, in Indian children. We selected 65 consecutive children below the age of 18 years, who attended the Allergy and Asthma Clinic of our hospital, between March 1, 2005 to November 30, 2006 and compared them with the available literature. The most common co-morbid condition with AR was asthma (75.4%), followed by urticaria (33.9%), conjunctivitis (29.2%) and sinusitis (23.1%) in that order. Two patients (3.1%) each, had adenoid hypertrophy and nasal polyps. Psoriasis was seen in 4/65 (6.2%). Four patients (6.2%) were free from any co-morbid conditions as opposed to 61/65 (93.8%), who suffered from one to three co-morbid conditions each. Co-morbid conditions are a rule rather than an exception, the most common association being asthma. Asthma often is asymptomatic and routine PFT testing is valuable. The association of psoriasis is interesting.

The aim of the present work was to analyse the alterations of rhino-sinusal physiology in 106 professional athletes (swimmers, skiers, boxers and runners) using objective rhinological methods. Every athlete underwent an accurate anamnesis, a complete objective ORL evaluation, an active anterior rhinomanometry, an acoustic rhinometry and an evaluation of mucociliary transport time (MCTt). Skiers were also submitted to a nasal decongestion test (NDT). In swimmers, the mean MCTt was 27.4± 4.97 min (normal value: 13±3 min; P<0.0001). The average MCTt for the skier group was 19.58±1.92 min (P< 0.0001); the mean value of total basal nasal resistance was 0.37±0.05 Pa/ml per s (normal value =0.25 Pa/ml per s; P<0.001). After NDT, total nasal resistance was 0.18± 0.02 Pa/ml per s. In the group of boxers, the total mean nasal resistance was 0.64±0.05 Pa/ml per s (P<0.001); the mean cross-sectional area at the nasal valve level was 0.57±0.04 cm 2 (normal value =0.55±0.05 cm 2 ) and at the inferior turbinate level 0.83±0.05 cm 2 (normal value =0.4± 0.04 cm 2 ; P<0.001); the TMC average time was 27.35± 2.21 min (P<0.0001). Finally, for the runners, the mean MCT time was 20.56±2.35 min (P<0.001). Knowing the alterations of the physiological nasal respiration is of extreme importance to develop a correct and timely therapeutic approach to be able to restore rhino-sinusal homeostasis. Athletes, in fact, need the earliest therapeutic aid in order to avoid the interference of prolonged rhino-sinusal alterations with their performance and also to avoid a more serious clinical situation concerning the inferior airways.
