Abstract
- Unified airway is that upper airway and lower airway are not a separate organ, but unified and interdependent organ and a model for explaining the inflammatory disorder in the respiratory tract. Allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis are common inflammatory disorders that occur in the nasal cavity. These disorders occur separately or combinedly. They are also associated with lower airway diseases, especially asthma. This article will review that relationship between these disorders and treatment modalities as a concept of unified airway.
