Translated title of the contribution: Chronic rhinosinusitisand type 2 disease

Abstract

Diseases of the upper and lower airways are commonly described as global airway disease, which shares basic inflammatory mechanisms, and airway comobidity is frequently found. The prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is 5-12%, characterised as CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). Inflammation in CRSwNP is often type 2, whereas CRSsNP often involves non-type 2. New monoclonal antibodies towards type-2 inflammation have been launched internationally to treat refractory severe CRSwNP, with effect on polyps, congestions and smell, as well as quality of life. This review gives a summary of the current treatment modalities.
