The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in asthmatic patients is high. It is also known that allergic rhinitis could be a risk factor for the onset and exacerbation of asthma. Many oral and topical medicines for allergic rhinitis are expected to ameliorate symptoms of asthma indirectly by improving allergic inflammation in the nose. However, some first-generation antihistamines are contraindicated for asthma. When administering intranasal corticosteroids to patients using inhaled steroids, those with low systemic bioavailability should be chosen. Leukotrienes receptor antagonists are used not only for treatment of allergic rhinitis but also for control of asthma. Anti-human IgE antibodies with expanded indications for some of severe Japanese cedar pollinosis are also expected to be effective in the patients with asthma caused by IgE-related allergic inflammation. In Japan, the subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy is indicated for allergic rhinitis and asthma, and the sublingual method is indicated only for allergic rhinitis. It is recommended for the patients with allergic rhinitis accompanied by asthma related to house dust mite antigens. It is necessary to understand the indication of immunotherapy for asthma, to share information about patients with other physicians, and to control asthma.

Measurement of factional exhaled NO (FeNO) and nasal NO has the potential to be useful for diagnosis and assessment in paranasal sinus infection. NO production is regulated by activities of three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and bioavailability of L-arginine as a substrate. We consider measuring FeNO can be a valid marker to differentiate chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) phenotypes based on distinct difference in arginase and NOS isoform activities. Although previous studies have reported that nasal NO levels generally decreased in CRS patients, the usefulness of NO measurement remains controversial. We found that eosinophilic CRS (ECRS) patients showed higher oral FeNO levels compared to non-ECRS patients. The increased FeNO levels in the ECRS patients are possibly related with augmented inducible NOS (NOS2) expression and airway eosinophilia. In addition, the role of endothelial NOS (NOS3) in nasal polyp formation has been proposed. NOS3 expression was found to be in glands, epithelial and vascular endothelial cells, the positive staining of which accounting for secretion and vascular dilatation. NOS2 gene expression is predominantly transcriptionally regulated. The existence of NOS2 promoter gene polymorphisms may influence CRS pathophysiology as shown in asthmatic patients. As for NOS3, several stimuli have been shown to initiate or enhance the enzyme activity and consequently the NO production both in calcium-dependent and -independent manners. The post-translational modification such as phosphorylation also influences eNOS activities. Further studies are needed in order to clarify the deeper role of the NOS isoforms in the pathogenesis of CRS phenotypes.

进入2000年代,发现了以成人发病,双侧鼻窦炎,嗅觉障碍,外周血中嗜酸性粒细胞高,支气管哮喘合并为主要征的慢性鼻窦炎,春名等人提出了嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎。2014年确立了诊断标准,2015年7月被厚生劳动省登记为不治之症。作为上呼吸道的慢性炎症的嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎和作为下气道的慢性炎症的支气管哮喘,被认为是one airway one disease这一病态共同存在的气道炎症疾病。患率高合并。作为病理之一,作为获得性免疫应答的2型辅助性T细胞(Th2),作为自然免疫应答的2型自然淋巴细胞(innate lymphoid cells type 2:ILC2)的IL-5的嗜酸性粒细胞诱导引起了气道炎症,但其全貌尚不明确。另外,众所周知,嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎合并的支气管哮喘多为阿司匹林哮喘,但其与阿司匹林不耐的关联性尚未明确。相对地,阿司匹林哮喘很早就发现合并了鼻蘑菇和嗅觉障碍,几乎所有被诊断为阿司匹林哮喘的患者都合并了嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎。阿司匹林哮喘患者的阿司匹林发作有时伴有意识障碍,导致死亡的例子也不少。因此,对于没有阿司匹林不耐的普通支气管哮喘患者,无论有无药物过敏史,都不应投与NSAIDs,这已成为目前整个医疗界的惯例。但是,相反,对于容易合并阿司匹林哮喘的嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎患者不使用NSAIDs,这一点并没有被广泛知晓。在具有鼻茸的病例中含有嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎的情况很多,而且,已知嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎中有很多阿斯皮林哮喘患者。因此,对于患有鼻蘑菇的病例,NSAIDs的处理必须慎重。此次经历了无NSAIDs过敏史,也未合并支气管哮喘的嗜酸性粒细胞性鼻窦炎患者的阿司匹林哮喘发作。如上所述,阿司匹林哮喘发作的支气管狭窄是严重的,有时还会导致死亡。考虑到患有鼻菇的患者中潜在存在对阿司匹林不耐受的患者,可以起到预防哮喘死亡的作用。在报告病例的同时,提醒注意NSAIDs的使用方法。
