“…Significant associations between allergic rhinitis and asthma also affirmed by many studies, one of them Mohammad et al ( 2009) reported that frequency of allergic rhinitis was 61.6 % in patients with asthma and there was a significant positive P < 0.001 association between allergic rhinitis and asthma 32 . A positive association between allergic rhinitis and asthma control was found in numerous other studies 33,34 . Results of above studies are similar to that of ours.…”

“…A more recent study found no difference in asthma risk between subjects with allergic rhinitis and those with non-allergic rhinitis, and corroborated the hypothesis of Pinart and colleagues that allergy may be less significant in the triggering of asthma than other factors, such as inflammation (13). Finally, Padilla et al later indicated in 256 Peruvian schoolchildren that rhinitis had a negative impact on asthma control (14). These findings underline the importance of the management and the treatment of this chronic disorder.…”
