| Abstract (English): | The respiratory tract, from the nose to the lung, behaves as an anatomical and pathophysiological unit under a holistic model. Lower airway abnormalities, such as bronchial hyperresponsiveness, reduced lung function and inflammation of the bronchial mucosa without clinical expression, have been observed in patients with rhinitis without asthma. These would be the consequence of a common systemic inflammatory phenomenon with simultaneous impact on the nose and lung. For unknown reasons, these patients do not exhibit a full clinical expression, which could mean an increased risk of developing asthma. In this review we address the frequency and characteristics of existing pulmonary abnormalities in children and adolescents with chronic rhinitis that derive from our previous research and, more recently, within the project “Allergic Respiratory Disease: The United Airway Concept” supported by the Universidad Católica de Córdoba, and a comparative analysis with the evidence provided by other authors in the medical literature.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El aparato respiratorio, desde la nariz al pulmón, se comporta como una unidad anatómica y fisiopatológica bajo un modelo holístico. Se han observado alteraciones pulmonares sin traducción clínica en pacientes con rinitis sin asma, que se manifiestan como hiperreactividad bronquial, reducción de la función pulmonar e inflamación bronquial. Estas serían consecuencia de un fenómeno inflamatorio sistémico con impacto simultáneo en nariz y pulmón, que por razones desconocidas no tiene una expresión clínica completa, pero que podrían significar un mayor riesgo de desarrollo de asma. En esta revisión abordamos la frecuencia y características de las anormalidades pulmonares existentes en niños y adolescentes con rinitis crónica derivadas de nuestras investigaciones previas y, más recientemente, del proyecto “Enfermedad Alérgica Respiratoria: El Concepto de Unidad de la Vía Aérea”, línea de investigación acreditada por la Universidad Católica de Córdoba y un análisis comparativo con las evidencias aportadas por otros autores en la literatura médica.
