Abstract:
Objective: This study estimated the prevalence of patients with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) in the total group of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CHRwNP), as well as a statistically significant difference between these two groups.Material and method: By analyzing 150 patients with diagnoses of CHRwNP, a subgroup of patients with intolerance to aspirin and other NSAIDs with asthma was isolated.Results: Out of 150 surveyed patients 57.3% had bronchial hyperreactivity, asthma was in 39.33% of patients and 25.3% had AERD.The average age of all examined patients was 52.83 ± 12.28 years, while those with AERD were 47.24 ± 13.35.The ratio was 1: 1.7 in favor of women.At the initial endoscopic examination, 63.16 % of patients were diagnosed with second degree and 36.84% with the third degree of polyps.After a year of therapy, we registered in 2.63% of patients first degree polyps in 60.53% second and in 36.84%third degree nasal polyps.During the year, with the first adequate therapy, 26.32% of patients required another round of a systemic corticosteroid therapy and 73.68% of the patients required three therapies. Conclusion:CHRwNP in AERD, is the most severe form of nasal polyps, with statistically significant presence of difficult forms of polyps, as well as the need for larger number of repeated rounds of systemic corticosteroids during one year and the worst result of treatment with a large number of residual polyps, as well as a statistically large number of decision on further surgical treatment.Keywords:

Human rhinoviruses (HRV) cause respiratory infections and are associated with asthma development. We assessed HRV prevalence, types and association with respiratory symptoms in the first year of life in 20 unselected infants. HRV was detected in 32% of 825 weekly nasal swabs. Seventy-four different types of all three species were identified. HRV presence and related respiratory symptoms are highly heterogeneous.

To assess respiratory rate as an indicator of acute respiratory dysfunction, we studied 58 consecutive patients four times daily during the postoperative period. Of 825 measurements of respiratory rate, 726 (89%) were normal (24/min or less). Elevations in respiratory rate without respiratory dysfunction were found in only 4% of all measurements. Patients without lung disease had a mean respiratory rate of 18 +/- 4/min, while patients with an abnormal respiratory rate and respiratory dysfunction had a mean of 27 +/- 5/min. Our study demonstrates that respiratory rate, if carefully measured, is a sensitive and reasonably specific marker of acute respiratory dysfunction.
