Allergic bronchitis

Spring and early summer give some people a bunch of problems. It is about those who suffer from various allergic diseases, which are usually aggravated by the change of weather conditions.

Allergies affect various parts of the respiratory tract.

Bronchitis, the signs of which are defined as inflammatory processes of the bronchial mucosa, develops usually due to adverse effects of a variety of aggressive factors - viruses, bacteria, allergic reagents, smoking.

Laboratory tests show in the blood of a sick child an increased content of eosinophils and immunoglobulin E. Usually these are the children of those parents who have a similar hereditary disease.
