Chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma are expressions of airway inflammatory diseases that frequently coexist, especially in the case of adult-onset asthma. Both conditions have similar pathological features, while one affects the upper airways and the other the lower airways. Whether the treatment of bronchial inflammation affects the severity of sinus disease remains an unanswered question. We report a case of refractory chronic rhinosinusitis with co-morbid adult-onset asthma that effectively improved upon treatment with a daily dose of 200 μg (100 μg b.i.d.) of inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP).
