Asthma and the otolaryngologist.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lower airway that is commonly encountered by the otolaryngologist. This article provides information on how to recognize patients with asthma and discuss issues related to diagnosis, treatment, and continued management within the context of current guidelines. METHODS:A literature review was conducted and relevant sources are referenced concerning the epidemiology of asthma, the pathophysiology of asthma, diagnostic strategies, treatment options, and continued management. RESULTS:Asthma is a common condition worldwide and is often associated with other atopic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and eczema, though other genetic and environmental factors appear to be important as well. The lower airway and upper airways share similar histology, as well as patterns of inflammation in response to environmental triggers. The diagnosis of asthma involves a careful history and a complete physical exam, including auscultation of the lungs and pulmonary function testing. Pharmacotherapy represents the primary method of treating asthma, though current evidence supports a positive role for antigen-specific immunotherapy for both prevention and treatment. Guidelines are available that can assist the otolaryngologist in classifying the severity of asthma, determining the level of control and recommending modifications in the treatment plan. CONCLUSION:As airway specialists, otolaryngologists are in a unique position to recognize and manage asthma in their patients, particularly those with allergic disease. Maintaining a high index of suspicion and understanding the key elements of diagnosis and treatment are extremely important in order to achieve this goal.
