Associations among high altitude, allergic rhinitis, and bronchial hyperreactivity

Yüksek rakımın alerjik rinit ve bronşiyal hiperreaktivite üzerindeki etkileri Alerjik solunum hastalıkları genel bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Çeşitli tedavi seçeneklerine rağmen bazı hastalar tatmin edici bir iyileşme eldeedemez. Yüksek rakım, bu hasta grubu için doğal bir ilave ve/veya kurtarma tedavisi seçeneği sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmamızda, yüksek rakımınalerjik rinit ve bronşiyal hiperreaktivite üzerindeki etkilerini literatüreşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık

Yüksek rak›m›n alerjik rinit ve bronfliyal hiperreaktivite üzerindeki etkileri

Allergic respiratory diseases are common public health problem.Although several treatment options, some of patients cannot manage toget satisfactory recovery. High altitude (HA) is shown as a natural additive and/or salvage therapy option for this patient group. We aimed topresent the effect of HA on allergic rhinitis and bronchial hyperreactivity in company with literature
