ABSTRACT
Introduction: chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most prevalent diseases
worldwide. Eosinophils play an important role in the generation of a chronic nasosinusal
inflammatory process secondary to the generation of a Th2 maladaptive
response and changes in the nasal microbiota. The objective of the study is to determine
if peripheral eosinophilia can be used as a predictor of tomographic severity
in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
Methods: an observational cross-sectional
study with an analytical component was performed in patients with a diagnosis of
CRS who had an eosinophil count in their clinical record. The sample size was 74
individuals.
Results: peripheral eosinophilia was established as a tomographic severity
factor, finding that for each increase of 100 eosinophils in blood, the total
score of the Lund-Mackay tomographic scale would increase by 1 point. This pattern
was equally concordant in patients with polyps and asthma, with increases in total
scores of 4 and 5 points respectively, with respect to patients who do not present
these pathologies.
Conclusion: the uses of peripheral eosinophilia as a predictor of
severity could be very useful for the medical community. This biomarker can result
in potential cost savings by eliminating the need for repeated medical treatments in
patients who initially have an increased risk of severe nasosinusal disease.
