Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitors in Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinosinusitis

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Allergic rhinitis/rhinosinusitis (AR) is the most common allergic disease. It affects patients’ quality of life and may influence the severity of lower airway disease such as asthma. Therefore, its treatment is of great importance.

Upper airway inflammatory diseases and bronchial hyperresponsiveness

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1988
Inflammatory processes of the upper airway may alter the responsiveness of the lower airway. For example, bronchial hyperresponsiveness may be seen in patients with allergic rhinitis. This could represent coexistent but unrecognized asthma, but also suggests that IgE-dependent inflammation may occur in the lower airway that can increase bronchial ...
