Until recently, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) was viewed as a chronic infectious disease of the sinuses caused by anaerobic bacteria.

Not surprisingly, few patients responded favorably. Recent years have seen a revolution in our thinking, with the recognition that CRS is a chronic inflammatory disease—a syndrome comprising numerous chronic inflammatory diseases.
