The lower airway and upper airways share similar histology, as well as patterns of inflammation in response to environmental triggers. The diagnosis of asthma involves a careful history and a complete physical exam, including auscultation of the lungs and pulmonary function testing. Pharmacotherapy represents the primary method of treating asthma, though current evidence supports a positive role for antigen\u2010specific immunotherapy for both prevention and treatment. Guidelines are available that can assist the otolaryngologist in classifying the severity of asthma, determining the level of control and recommending modifications in the treatment plan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>As airway specialists, otolaryngologists are in a unique position to recognize and manage asthma in their patients, particularly those with allergic disease. Maintaining a high index of suspicion and understanding the key elements of diagnosis and treatment are extremely important in order to achieve this goal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.21386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,2]],"date-time":"2014-09-02T19:31:38Z","timestamp":1409686298000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Asthma and the otolaryngologist"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"William R.","family":"Reisacher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medical College  New York NY"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2011.04.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng1256"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2008.29.3169"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2008.29.3168"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa051378"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","first-page":"336","article-title":"The relationships of rhinitis and asthma","volume":"26","author":"Meltzer EO","year":"2005","journal-title":"Allergy Asthma Proc"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00138606"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mai.2001.118891"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1398-9995.2007.01620.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mai.2002.121701"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0091-6749(97)70127-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/108854194778816634"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2007.07.056"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"470","DOI":"10.1038\/nature06014","article-title":"Genetic variants regulating ORMDL3 expression contribute to the risk of childhood asthma","volume":"448","author":"Moffat MF","year":"2007","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","first-page":"3","article-title":"Epidemiology of rhinitis and asthma","volume":"2","author":"Lundback B","year":"1998","journal-title":"Clin Exp Allergy"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2012.12.1575"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","volume-title":"Asthma.
