NSG 5003 Assignment: Immune Response in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma
NSG 5003 Assignment Immune Response in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma
You substantively included in your paper a discussion on a 4 year old patient who has been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and asthma and has been told that it is “IgE” mediated by the physician. You included an adequate discussion on what information, you would provide to the patient and family in terms of what “IgE” actually is and the effect is has on the cells of the respiratory and upper airways? The discussion was adequate and included some of the following information:
Allergic rhinitis is an important health problem and affects up to 40% of the worldwide population [1, 2]. Its prevalence in the Canadian population is between 10 and 25% [1]. Forty percent of allergic rhinitis patients have asthma, and as much as 94% of allergic asthma patients have allergic rhinitis [3–6]. In Canada, the current prevalence of asthma is 8.4% [7] whereas worldwide prevalence varies from 1.6 to 37% [1].
Settipane and colleagues conducted a prospective study on a cohort consisting of young university students to determine the long-term risk factors for developing asthma and allergic rhinitis [8]. The follow-up study 23 years later revealed that the incidence of asthma and allergic rhinitis increases with age. Furthermore, the presence of allergic rhinitis and positive results of allergen skin tests were shown to be important risk factors of asthma development. Patients with allergic rhinitis have a threefold greater chance of developing asthma. Interestingly, the relief of rhinitis symptoms over time correlates with the improvement of asthma symptoms. Patients with more severe and persistent rhinitis are at a higher risk of developing asthma [9]. A strong association between perennial rhinitis and asthma in nonatopic subjects was also demonstrated in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey [10].
To better understand the possible links between asthma and allergic rhinitis, the World Health Organization, through the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) program, examined the impact of allergic rhinitis on asthma [2]. The ARIA study concluded that allergic rhinitis is a major chronic respiratory disease owing to its prevalence, impact on quality of life, impact on school and work performance and productivity, economic burden, and links to asthma. According to the ARIA study and previous observations, allergic and nonallergic rhinitis should be considered risk factors for asthma, along with other known risk factors.
