Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most frequent comorbidities associated with asthma and it contributes to an amplified global disease burden in asthmatics.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most frequent comorbidities associated with asthma and it contributes to an amplified global disease burden in asthmatics. CRS prevalence is much higher in asthmatic patients compared to the general population and it is more frequently related to severe asthma, especially in presence of nasal polyps (chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, CRSwNP). Moreover, asthma exacerbation has a higher occurrence in CRSwNP. From a pathologic point of view, CRS and asthma share similar and connected mechanisms (e.g., type-2 inflammation). A multidisciplinary approach represents a crucial aspect for the optimal management of patients with concomitant asthma and CRSwNP and improvement of patient quality of life. An Italian panel of clinicians with different clinical expertise (pulmonologists, ear, nose and throat specialists, immunologists and allergy physicians) identified three different profiles of patients with coexisting asthma and nasal symptoms and discussed the specific tracks to guide a comprehensive approach to their diagnostic and therapeutic management. Currently available biological agents for the treatment of severe asthma act either on eosinophil-centered signaling network or type-2 inflammation, resulting to be effective also in CRSwNP and representing a valid option for patients with concomitant conditions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
