Medical care and treatment of children with asthmatic or wheezing health outcomes and urban-rural differences in Bavaria - a cross-sectional study

Gamma globulin replacement therapy in uncontrolled, severe asthma associated with humoral immunodeficiency: A series of five case reports.
We report on five adult cases of the rare association of asthma with humoral immunodeficiency (huID). All patients had uncontrolled asthma related to recurrent respiratory infections.

Two men (aged 28 and 60) presented with pollen allergies, chronic rhinosinusitis, and IgG deficiency (7.8 and 7.6 g/L, respectively). Both patients underwent surgery for nasal polyposis but relapsed with acute sinusitis and severe asthma exacerbations requiring treatment with oral corticosteroids and anti...

Asthma control and disease burden in patients with asthma and allergic comorbidities.
