Why Nasal Polyps Occur and How to Treat Nasal Polyp Naturally ?
Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) forms a subset of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) that is mainly characterized by eosinophilic nasal polyps, allergic mucin detected in the sinuses at surgery, and specific features on computerized tomography. Which biological markers predict disease recurrence in AFRS is still not clear, and the role of blood inflammatory cells in predicting recurrent polyps after surgery has yet to be investigated. The aim of this study was to newly investigate the prognostic role (in terms of recurrence rate) of preoperative blood eosinophil and basophil levels in AFRS. A consecutive series of 17 adult patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for AFRS was retrospectively assessed. In this study, Nasal polyps recurred in 15 of 17 patients . Considering the whole cohort, a significant positive correlation emerged between blood eosinophil and basophil counts, but not between blood and tissue eosinophil counts.
