The research goal of the study was to assess frequency of allergic rhinitis diagnostics in schoolchildren with bronchial asthma and to evaluate treatment approaches to combined allergic pathology of respiratory tract in clinical practice. Materials: Retrospective analysis of medical records of all asthmatic schoolchildren in-patients admitted in 2003-2010 has been performed. 240 patients have been included in the study. Results: 61.7% schoolchildren had symptoms suspicious of allergic rhinitis. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis was established only in 56 patients (23.3%). Obviously, children with allergic rhinitis or nasal symptoms had more severe clinical course of asthma. The latter required significantly more frequent and intensive use of prolonged broncholytics in order to enhance the anti-inflammatory treatment (inhalation corticosteroids) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: in schoolchildren with bronchial asthma allergic rhinitis is diagnosed inadequately (insufficiently). This fact does not allow to start treatment intime and ipso facto to improve the clinical course of bronchial asthma.

The research goal was to study the clinical efficiency of desloratadine therapy in children with persistent form of allergic rhinitis and to evaluate its effect on bronchial asthma symptoms. A prospective, randomized, open, parallel-group study of the effectiveness of desloratadine in children with persistent allergic rhinitis aged 2 - 16 in a four-week term was carried out. the effectiveness of therapy was evaluated by dynamics of clinical symptoms and rhinomanometry. the study showed that desloratadine was an effective medication in treatment of persistent allergic rhinitis in children of different age groups. It controlled nasal and other symptoms of allergic rhinitis and provided the reduction of stuffiness in nose and improvement of breathing through the nose. the medication significantly effected histamine-induced symptoms (itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea). In children with allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma the positive dynamics of symptoms of asthma was observed. the effectiveness of treatment with desloratadine in children with isolated allergic rhinitis was proved to be higher than in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma
