Pathogenesis of nasal polyps: an update.

Current allergy and asthma reports - 1 Nov 2005

Pawliczak Rafal, Lewandowska-Polak Anna, Kowalski Marek L

Abstract excerpt

The cause of nasal polyp formation is still unknown. Genetic predisposition has been suggested, but there are scanty data to support such theories. Activated epithelial cells may be the major source of mediators inducing influx of inflammatory cells (mostly eosinophils) and proliferation and activation of fibroblasts leading to nasal polyp formation. Infectious agents (including viruses, bacteria, or fungi) may...
