Comparison of local cytokine gene expression and the distribution of eosinophils and CD4-positive cell subsets in the paranasal sinus mucosa between atopic and non-atopic subjects

Comparison of local cytokine gene expression and the distribution of eosinophils and CD4-positive cell subsets in the paranasal sinus mucosa between atopic and non-atopic subjects

Background: The role of Th2 type cytokines in the persistence of chronic rhinosinusitis, especially that induced by non-infectious inflammatory causes, has been noted. However, the original cause of sinus eosinophilia remains unclear and whether the presence of allergic rhinitis (AR) may be a risk f...
