Abstract
The inflammatory response in the upper airway mucosa of children with asthma and CRS was similar, but more severe, compared with children with CRS without asthma. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that asthma in these patients is caused or exacerbated by severe upper airway disease and supports the concept that treating sinus disease is paramount in the management of chronic asthma in children using, for the first time, direct measurements of airway inflammation in children.
