Blood and local nasal eosinophilia in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: prevalence and correlation with severity of disease
We demonstrated that blood eosinophil count and nasal cytology may represent useful tools in routine clinical practice to define Type 2 inflammation and that their levels are usually higher in patients with comorbidities. We also showed that blood eosinophilia was not correlated with severity of symptoms, whereas local eosinophil count was associated with high severity of symptoms and high burden on quality of life.
