Allergic Rhinitis With/Without Asthma: Pre- and Post-Qipian Analysis

Allergic rhinitis and asthma are common chronic respiratory diseases, with rising prevalence each year. Bacterial lysates (BLs) are a potential treatment option that has been used for over 100 years. Qipian® is a Chinese medication containing extracts from three types of bacteria, used to treat chronic respiratory diseases. It effectively alleviates symptoms and improves the immune system. This study will retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy of adding Qipian® to the conventional drug treatment in patients with allergic rhinitis with or without asthma. Patients diagnosed with rhinitis and asthma according to ARIA and GINA guidelines were included in the study. They will be divided into two groups based on their treatment regimen: a conventional drug treatment group and a conventional drug plus Qipian® treatment group. Clinical symptoms and relevant serum markers were collected to assess changes before and after treatment, and to determine whether the addition of Qipian® results in more significant improvements compared to the conventional drug treatment group. This will help determine the benefits of Qipian® for patients with rhinitis, with or without asthma, in terms of clinical symptoms and serum indicators, and further explore its role in allergic respiratory diseases.
