Respiratory infections (RI) represent a frequent challenge for physicians. Allergic patients could present higher susceptibility to contract RI than non-allergic subjects. Non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophils (NARES) has been little investigated. This preliminary study was performed to evaluate the number and duration of RI and their sequelae in NARES and allergic patients, and non-allergic healthy subjects. Forty healthy non-allergic subjects (22 males, mean age 29 years), 40 patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) (19 males, mean age 35), and 40 NARES patients (18 males, mean age 34) were evaluated. The considered parameters were: nasal eosinophils, total number, duration in days of RI, and RI severity. NARES patients had more eosinophils than AR patients and normal controls (p<0.01); RI duration was longer in NARES patients than in AR ones (p<0.05) and controls (p<0.01); RI were more severe in NARES patients than in AR ones (p<0.05) and controls (p<0.01); pneumonia and asthma were more frequent in both NARES and AR patients than controls (p<0.05 and p<0.01). In conclusion, this preliminary study shows that NARES may induce more severe respiratory infections than allergic rhinitis. |
