Abstract
Allergies and asthma have long been considered diseases of children and young adults. They are, however, prevalent among older patients also. This article summarizes findings on the diagnosis and treatment of allergies and asthma in the older population. Allergies and asthma occur with fair frequency in older patients. Remembering to look and test for these problems enables better treatment and symptom control for these patients. Immunotherapy works well in this population. Regardless of the patient's age, the differential diagnosis for sinonasal and dyspnea complaints should include allergies and asthma. Diagnosis is straightforward, and appropriate treatment improves quality of life.
