Abstract
Reactive airway disease is a group of conditions that include reversible airway narrowing due to an external stimulation. These conditions generally result in wheezing
Awheezy chest is common respiratory disease affecting 1-18%of pediatric popu lation in different countries the link between upper and lower airways, changing the global pathogenic view of respiratory diseases. The term “united airway disease (UAD)” is used to define this complex interplay.
This is across sectional study committed inAssuit University Children hospital with collaboration of Otorhinolaryngology department aimed to delniate the prevelance of abnormal nasal finding in childhood reactive airway diseases and evaluate the role of the endoscopic examination of the nose in evaluation and management of childhood reactive airway diseases.
The study included 55 patients with reactive airway diseases aged from 2-18 years attending the emergency department of the pediatric hospital whose main target symptoms were recurrent wheezy chest and recurrent cough most of them denied any nasal symptoms only (14.54%) had rhinorrhea,(12.72%)had persistant bilateral nasl obstruction, (7.27%) sonred,and only (5.45%)sneezed and(5.45%)had obstructive sleep disorder breathing .all of them were subjected to the endosopic nasal examination at Otorhinolaryngology department which reavled that (92.72%) of them had abnormal nasal findings mainly in the form of inferior nasal turbinate hypertrophy (allergic rhinitis)(52.27%) and adenoids hypertrophy(49.09%)
To lesser extent nasal septal deviation (7.27%) and nasal polyp (3.63%).
