Abstract:Objective
To measure the inflammatory cytokines of middle ear effusion (MEE) in otitis media (OM) associated with asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) with or without nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) sensitivity to strengthen our assumption that OM is part of the same inflammatory entity. The potential individual differences between MEE inflammatory cytokines could be used in clinical practice for more individual characterization of the inflammation.
