Asthma

A condition of hyperreactive airways. This includes bronchial constriction, inflammation and hypersecretion of mucus. Asthma is a common co-morbidity associated with allergic rhinitis. Pediatric allergic rhinitis, especially that driven by perennial allergens (e.g., House Dust Mite, Mold), commonly progresses to allergic asthma of varying severity.
