Abstract: The author suggests that recent studies indicate that rhinitis and asthma should always be considered in combination in clinical diagnosis and management. He cites studies that have investigated this link. He believes that links between upper and lower airways found in both allergic and non-allergic patients indicate that there are complex interactions between the two disorders.
