Abstract

Descriptions of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are frequently characterized by references to the eosinophilia present in CRS and in allergic diseases. However, the focus in assessment of inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis is increasingly shifting away from Th2-dominated mechanisms to a consideration of the contributions by Th1 and Th17 mechanisms as well. This has led to an increased focus of interest in assessment of lymphocyte subpopulations and of cytokines associated with these inflammatory pathways.
