Background: It is said that the chronic rhinosinusitis influences the lower respiratory airway and there is a report that
a tendency to increase the eosinophilic rhinosinusitis later, but they are still unknown.
Methods: We divided the chronic rhinosinusitis patients with the adaptation of the operation into four groups and
exaed whether there was a difference in the respiratory function, exhaled NO, and the number of the blood
eosinophil.
Object : 29 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, who planned the endonasal sinus surgery.
Results: Comparing these four groups, it was the worst on the respiratory function (one second rate) in the
group with nasal polyps and without nasal allergy. It was recognized the connection between the respiratory function
and the presence of the nasal polyps. It was possible that the exhaled NO became the index to the lower airway
inflammation.
Conclusions: We classified the chronic rhinosinusitis and evaluated the lower airway function. It helps the
pathologic understanding of the chronic rhinosinusitis. And it leads to understand of the influence on the lower airway
inflammation.
