To better determine the role of allergy in rhinitis and nasal polyposis, we assessed the prevalence of nasal mucosal allergy in the absence of systemic allergy. After a thorough literature search we complied and analyzed data from nine studies (287 patients) that tested for specific immunoglobulin E both intranasally and systemically. When meta-analysis was applied to the different populations, 19% of those who demonstrated specific immunoglobulin E manifested nasal mucosal allergy but no systemic allergy. We suggest that there to an important segment of rhinitis and nasal polyp patients who have nasal mucosal allergy.

AbstractObjective:To investigate the role of local allergic inflammation and Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.Methods:This study included 36 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and 18 controls. Total immunoglobulin E, eosinophil cationic protein, staphylococcal enterotoxin types A and B specific immunoglobulin E, staphylococcal enterotoxin types A and B, and myeloperoxidase levels were determined.Results:Four patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps had a local allergy. All chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps patients tested negative for staphylococcal enterotoxin types A and B specific immunoglobulin E. The chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps group had significantly elevated staphylococcal enterotoxin types A and B levels in the supernatant. Fourteen patients belonged to the eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps group and the others were characterised as having non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.Conclusion:Local allergy may play a role in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, independent of staphylococcal enterotoxin superantigens. Staphylococcal enterotoxins may be important in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps; however, their roles as superantigens were not confirmed in this study. In Chinese subjects, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps usually manifests as a neutrophilic inflammation.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to report the aeroallergen sensitization profile in medically resistant chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps and its relationship to asthma. Methods: Retrospective charts review of 402 chronic rhinosinusitis patients who failed to respond to medical treatment and scheduled for surgery at a tertiary academic center was performed. One hundred and fifty-five patients had chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and 247 patients had chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps, furthermore; the two phenotypes were subdivided according to the presence or absence of asthma. Allergen-specific immunoglobulin E to 24 inhalant allergens was measured to all patients by the enzyme allergo-sorbent test. Results: The average age was 35 years ( SD ± 13) with 236 males and 166 females. Two hundred and fifty-three patients (63%) were tested positive for at least one allergen with no significant difference between patients with or without polyp (in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, 103 patients (66%) were positive compared with 150 patients (61%) in chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps). There were no significant differences in the prevalence, type, and number of positive allergens between the two phenotypes. The prevalence of asthma was found to be 19% in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps versus 46% in those with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps ( p = 0.001), and the prevalence of high eosinophils was 27%, and 47% in both phenotypes, respectively ( p = 0.0001). Conclusions: The prevalence of inhalational allergy in medically resistant chronic rhinosinusitis is high, however, this profile does not differ based on the presence of polyp. Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps had a higher prevalence of asthma and blood eosinophils as compared with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps. Our results showed a little role of inhalant allergens in nasal polyps or asthma comorbidity in refractory sinusitis patients.

AbstractThe proportion of allergic diseases attributable to atopy remains a subject of controversy. This study aimed to estimate the population risk of physician-diagnosed asthma, rhinitis and eczema attributed to atopy among a population sample of Asian school-age children. Asian children aged 5–18 years (n = 1321) in the Prediction of Allergies in Taiwanese CHildren (PATCH) study were tested for serum allergen-specific immunoglobulin E. Physician-diagnosed asthma, rhinitis and eczema were assessed by a modified International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire. Atopy was defined as the presence of serum allergen-specific immunoglobulin E. In this population-based study, 50.4% of the subjects with asthma, 46.3% with rhinitis, and 46.7% with eczema were attributable to atopy. The population attributable risk (PAR) of atopy for three allergic diseases was higher in adolescents (asthma, 54.4%; rhinitis, 59.6%; eczema, 49.5%) than younger children aged less than 10 years (asthma, 46.9%; rhinitis, 39.5%; eczema, 41.9%). Among the seven allergen categories, sensitization to mites had the highest PARs for all three allergic diseases (51.3 to 64.1%), followed by sensitization to foods (asthma, 7.1%; rhinitis, 10.4%; eczema 27.7%). In conclusion, approximately half (46.3 to 50.4%) of Asian children in Taiwan with allergic diseases are attributable to atopy.
