Abstract
|
|
|
Sinusitis is a common problem in children with bronchial asthma. The sinusitis may exacerbate asthma, but the causal relationship between sinusitis and asthma remains controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of sinusitis on bronchial responsiveness in asthmatic children.
Bronchial provocation test with methacholine were performed in the ast,hmatics with sinusitis before and after treatment of sinusitis and the concoulratins of methecholine causing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume one second(PC_(20)) were determined.
The PC_(20) was increased significantly in asthmatics with sinusitis after treat,ment of sinusitis.
These data suggest that sinusitis may increase the bronchial responsiveness of asthmatics and treatment of sinusitis may be important in the control of asthma.
