Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Nasal Conditions: A Review of Current Evidence

Abstract: The nasal epithelium expressing enriched angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2), the key cell entry receptor of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), could serve as the first barrier to protect the airway from viral infection. Recent studies have demonstrated that higher viral loads were detected in the nasal cavity than the pharynx in coronavirus disease 2019 patients, and otolaryngologists should carefully consider infection prevention in clinical practice for the treatment of nasal… Show more

“…However, antiviral drugs, such as remdesivir, lopinavir, and hydroxychloroquine, which have clinically prescribed for use in COVID-19 disease management, may cause liver damage. This may increase drug toxicity or aggravate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection [ 81 ].…”

“…Practices like face masks and handwashing appear to be mutually beneficial for management of AR and COVID‐19 3387 . Standard therapies for AR, including INCS, oral and topical antihistamines, montelukast, and AIT, were not identified as increasing susceptibility or severity of COVID‐19 infection 3363,3364,3370,3414,3421 . Systemic corticosteroids may be a concern although this is not a standard therapy for AR 3422 .…”

“…Air pollution can potentially play a role in the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection by providing air-borne particles to transport virions and affecting the barrier and innate immunity functions of the respiratory epithelium [ 73 ]. Available evidence also suggests that the relatively common URT conditions of allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis do not increase the risk of COVID-19 [ 74 ]. The elevated production of T H 2 cytokines, which is common in airway allergic diseases, reduces ACE2 but increases TMPRSS2 expression levels in the URT [ 75 ].…”
