title: [Allergic reactions of the lower airways in two patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis].
abstract: The paper presents two patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Absence of complaints related to the lower airways, normal physical pulmonary findings, normal functional ventilation findings and negative non-specific bronchoprovokative metacholine test, ruled out bronchial asthma in both patients. However, positive specific bronchoprovokative tests with corresponding allergens were explained by the presence of the specifically sensibilised mast cells at the level of the lower airways and allergic reaction in absence of allergic inflammation and bronchial hyperirritability.
