Abstract		Chronic hyperplastic rhinitis is influenced by endogenous and exogenous inflammatory processes in the mucosa of the nasal and paranasal cavities. Its association with asthma is based upon immunologic uniformity of respiratory mucosa. Vice versa, improvement of chronic rhinitis diminishes asthma. The most common pathophysiological mechanism involved is eosinophilic inflammation. The topical glucocorticoid is the treatment of choice. Chronic course of the disease, frequently interrupted by exacerbations, and the need for regular consumption of the drugs, require motivation and education of the patient. The effectiveness of treatment depends on his or her compliance.
Summary		Kronični hiperplastični rinitis (KHR) je posledica endogeno in eksogeno sproženih vnetnih dogajanj v sluznici nosnega organa. Zaradi imunološke enovitosti sluznice dihal je KHR najpogostejši vzrok astmi. Uelja tudi obratno, uspešno zdravljenje kroničnega rinitisa izboljša astmo. Najpogostejši patofiziološki mehanizem je eozinofilno vnetje, ki ga najučinkoviteje zdravimo s topičnim glukokortikosteroidom. Kronična narava bolezni s številnimi poslabšanji in potreba po rednem zdravljenju zahtevata ustrezen poduk, motiviranost in sodelovanje bolnika.
