CONCLUSION: Our results support the theory that chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a systemic Th alteration, the relevance of which is discussed in detail. OBJECTIVE: CRS imposes a heavy burden on society; however, a reliable CRS therapy has not been found. Developing a better understanding of this pathology will help us in our search for more effective therapies. One question, which is rarely examined, is the possibility of CRS existing as a systemic immune alteration in Th response. Thus, the goal of this study was to examine the occurrence of CRS, a Th2 pathology, with Th1 pathologies such as psoriasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was performed via a retrospective electronic query of our medical center in regards to patients coded with the respective diagnosis. RESULTS: Analysis of the data showed that occurrence of CRS rarely coincided with the occurrence of psoriasis and other such Th1 pathologies.
