“…Eosinophil infiltration was reported to be significantly lower in good outcome group compared with the poor outcome group following ESS in adults [19], and it was strongly associated with asthma according to our recent study [20]. On the contrary, we could find no difference of blood eosinophil count or eosinophil infiltration of nasal mucosa between the good and poor outcome group after pediatric ESS.…”

ObjectivesThe risk factors for maxillary fungal ball are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether endodontic treatment of maxillary teeth is a risk factor for fungal ball development in the maxillary sinus, and to identify other possible risk factors.MethodsOne hundred and twelve case patients diagnosed with maxillary fungal ball (FB group) and age and gender matched control patients diagnosed with chronic paranasal rhinosinusitis (PNS group) were included to determine associations between previous endodontic treatment and maxillary fungal ball. In addition, we reviewed the dental extraction status of maxillary teeth and the underlying disease in both groups to analyze the other risk factors for maxillary fungal ball.ResultsThere were 36.3% of patients in the FB group and 16.1% in the PNS group showed evidence of endodontic treatment on the maxillary teeth (P<0.001). Even after correction for possible confounding factor - the frequency of dental extractions - the rate of endodontic treatment remained higher in the FB group. The mean number of endodontically treated maxillary teeth in the FB group and PNS group were 0.63 and 0.27, respectively (P=0.001). In addition, 20.5% of the patients in the FB group and 13.4% in the PNS group has diabetes mellitus (P=0.154).ConclusionEndodontic treatment on maxillary teeth was a significant risk factor for the development of fungal balls in the maxillary sinus.

“…Eosinophilia is known to be one of the manifestations of rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma. 29 Consequently, these findings point to the possibility of inducing allergic laryngitis, which in turn promotes eosinophilia at the supraglottis of guinea pigs. Our results point to a reduction in the VTPs that inversely correlated with increased severity of vocal organ symptoms in our study subjects.…”
