Asthma and allergic rhinitis are clinically common respiratory allergic diseases. Although the two diseases differ in clinical manifestations, they are very similar in terms of etiology and pathogenesis. Research has shown that the prevalence of both diseases has increased over the past few decades, placing an economic burden on the health care system and patients. In light of this, Hong Kong Institute of Integrative Medicine (HKIIM) and School of Chinese Medicine, CUHK as well as CUHK Medical Centre (CUHKMC) jointly organize this symposium, with an aim of bringing together Western medicine clinicians, Chinese medicine practitioners in this field to share the latest development of the diagnostic and treatment methods of the disease. It is a golden opportunity to get updated of the most recent research findings, as well as the prospect on the practicalities of an integrative model for management of this distressing respiratory disease.
