Abstract:
The incidence of allergic airway diseases has grown steadily in the past decade.Allergic rhinitis is closely associated with the development of asthma.Genetic and environmental factors are etiologically considered to be the main contributors to the development of allergic airway diseases.So far,overwhelming data from studies on humans and animals have indicated a systemic pathway linking the upper and lower airways.Neurogenic inflammation plays an important role in allergic airway diseases.This paper outlines the latest progress in the related researches.
