In a large percentage of patients with upper airway disease, asthma and sinusitis occur concomitantly. As many as 88% of patients with asthma exhibit the symptoms of rhinitis, and half of rhinitic patients have asthma. In this article, Dr Muller explores the interrelationship of sinusitis and asthma, including characteristics, mechanisms of action, and diagnosis, and provides suggestions for optimal treatment of both.
