Abstract

Allergy and asthma prevalence vary across different subsets of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. In this article, the authors investigate the management of allergy and asthma within populations of patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and central compartment atopic disease. Topical steroids, nasal rinses, and endoscopic sinus surgery are frequently employed in the management of nasal polyposis. Further, other causes of upper and lower airway inflammation like allergy and asthma should be considered in the overall treatment plan in order to optimize outcomes.

Keywords: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis; Allergy; Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease; Asthma; Central compartment atopic disease; Chronic sinusitis; Nasal polyps.
