A study of Spirometric parameters in non asthmatic allergic rhinitis.

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common IgE -mediated inflammatory condition characterised by sneezing, nasal congestion, itching and rhinorrhoea. Nasal allergy is a strong risk factor for the onset of asthma in adults. Bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) is a distinct feature of pathophysiology in asthma.
