Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients with asthma and to investigate relationships between the diagnosed digestive abnormalities and asthma course.
Methods. Asthma clinical signs, bronchial obstruction, severity of inflammation, immunological reactivity, and endoscopic characteristics of esophagus, stomach, and duodenum were studied in patients with asthma and comorbid diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract (the study group; n = 124) and in patients with asthma without clinical signs of digestive disease (the comparator group; n = 23).
Results. Asthma course, inflammation and immunological abnormalities were more severe in patients with digestive disorders. Inflammation, atrophy and gastrointestinal motility changes were seen during endoscopy.
Conclusion. These abnormalities were related to clinical features of asthma, severity of bronchial inflammation and immunological disorders.
