“…201 CT can quantify the extent of inflammatory disease based upon opacification of the paranasal sinuses; 198 however, patient symptoms and quality of life do not necessarily correlate with the extent of disease seen on CT. 19,20,141 Allergy and Immunology Evaluation: Evidence supports the association of allergy and rhinosinusitis in adults. 159,[202][203][204][205][206] Most patients with extensive sinus disease, quantified by CT, have demonstrated evidence of allergy, 165,207 and about twice as many patients with allergic rhinitis, compared with normal subjects, have abnormal CT scans (67% vs 33%). 208 Identification of allergies, however, does not imply they are the only cause of sinusitis, and other factors should be considered.…”

This clinical practice guideline is not intended as a sole source of guidance for managing adults with rhinosinusitis. Rather, it is designed to assist clinicians by providing an evidence-based framework for decision-making strategies. It is not intended to replace clinical judgment or establish a protocol for all individuals with this condition, and may not provide the only appropriate approach to diagnosing and managing this problem.

“…Literature since the 1950s supports the relationship of allergy to rhinitis and rhinosinusitis [14][15][16][17][18]. Retrospective clinical reviews have shown that at least half of the patients presenting with ARS have positive skin tests; conversely, patients with allergy have higher rates of sinus disease on imaging than nonallergic controls [19].…”

A multitude of potential etiologies exist for rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. These sinonasal disorders are heterogeneous entities that are best understood by evaluating the causative factors in each individual patient. More precise diagnosis permits accurate and effective treatment. The association of allergy with sinonasal symptoms has been described for decades; however, the specific relationship between allergy, rhinitis, and rhinosinusitis is complex. Considering allergy in terms of a systemic atopic disorder, along with a local inflammatory process mediated by IgE production in sinonasal tissues, is helpful in unveiling the complex connection between allergy, rhinitis, and rhinosinusitis. This article reviews recent literature regarding local IgE and sinonasal inflammatory conditions.

“…For example, Savolainen [2] demonstrated evidence for allergic rhinitis in at least 25% of patients with acute maxillary sinusitis. In the case of chronic sinusitis, investigators have shown the co-existence of allergic rhinitis in 40% to 84% of patients [3][4][5][6][7]. In pediatric patients, evidence of allergic rhinitis has been shown in 36% to 60% of patients with chronic sinusitis [8][9][10].…”

The Impact of allergic and nonallergic rhinitis on pediatric sinusitis

There is a great deal of published evidence that there is a relationship between both allergic and nonallergic rhinitis and sinusitis in both pediatric and adult patients. The relationship between rhinitis and sinusitis may involve inflammation in one compartment leading to secondary inflammation in the other compartment, such as in the case of rhinitis leading to obstruction of the osteomeatal complex. The relationship may also involve individual manifestations of a shared process, such as allergic disease. A better understanding of the relationship between rhinitis and sinusitis may significantly influence the treatment of these common and important conditions.
