Atopy in its most common forms (asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis) has a significant impact on society in terms of health care costs and quality of life. Aside from having significant morbidity from these diseases, patients with atopy have also been noted to have a high incidence of comorbidities, including bacterial infections such as otitis media and sinusitis. In this paper, current evidence is reviewed that supports the close associations among allergic rhinitis and the two commonly diagnosed bacterial diseases, otitis media and sinusitis.
最常见形式的特应性疾病（哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和特应性皮炎）在医疗保健成本和生活质量方面对社会有重大影响。除了这些疾病导致严重发病外，特应性疾病患者还被发现有很高的合并症发生率，包括中耳炎和鼻窦炎等细菌感染。本文回顾了支持过敏性鼻炎与两种常见诊断的细菌性疾病——中耳炎和鼻窦炎之间密切关联的现有证据。
