Background: Immunotherapy (IT) has been well established as an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR), but little is known about the benefits of IT on clinical outcomes of comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The goal of this publication is to systematically review the literature regarding outcomes of IT in patients with atopic CRS.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted including studies that assessed the efficacy of IT on clinical outcome measures in CRS including without polyp, with polyp, and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis subgroups.
Background: Leukotriene antagonists (LTAs) provide a potential strategy for the management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), which is often refractory to medical and surgical treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of LTA treatment alone and in conjunction with intranasal corticosteroids (INCSs) on nasal symptoms, objective clinical outcomes, and immune parameters in CRSwNP.
Methods: A systematic review was performed including studies that assessed the effectiveness of LTAs on clinical outcome measures of CRSwNP.
