Sinusitis and asthma: how do they interrelate in sinus surgery?

American Journal of Rhinology

Abstract

Sinusitis has been suspected to be etiopathogenically linked to bronchial asthma. Asthma, on the other hand, has been reported to affect negatively the outcome of sinus surgery. The purpose of this study is to elucidate how sinusitis and asthma clinically interrelate, in a group of asthmatic subjects undergoing surgical interventions on the sinuses. A total of 43 asthmatic patients, selected for functional endoscopic sinus surgery, preoperatively had their sinus disease staged and their lung function tested, and were evaluated for allergy and aspirin sensitivity. One year after surgery the surgical results were analyzed, lung function was re-assessed, and patients' clinical status addressed through a questionnaire; and 93 nonasthmatic patients, whose functional endoscopic sinus surgery was contemporaneous, were used as a control group for the surgical results. Asthma was a critical factor negatively affecting the outcome of sinus surgery. On the other hand, sinus disease extension did not correlate with asthma severity at any stage. Sinus surgery, despite being capable of improving asthma, ultimately failed to produce significant change in lung function scores. Furthermore, consistent good surgical results on the nose did not c...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
