“…These results confirm previous published evidence that clinical symptom scores are not predictive of either the presence or extent of sinus disease in most cases. [6][7][8]16 This is not surprising insofar as many of the symptoms that are used to evaluate sinus disease such as headache, posterior pharyngeal drainage, purulent nasal drainage, nasal congestion, and toothache are not specific for this disease. These symptoms are more reflective of the presence of nasal disease including all of the causes of perennial rhinitis.…”

“…20,21 Elevated total IgE is a risk factor for the presence of severe CS 22 and both sensitivity to multiple allergens and sensitivity to perennial allergens (e.g., dust mites) are independently associated with increased likelihood of having CS. 23 Together, these studies support the concept that CS could be an atopic disease driven by IgE sensitization to aeroallergens.…”
