Multidisciplinary management of a patient with CRSwNP and comorbid asthma using add-on anti–IL-5

25 Oct 2024 by

A 60-year-old female nonsmoker was first diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and comorbid asthma in 2003. (Table) Due to anosmia (loss of sense of smell), nasal congestion and postnasal drip, she underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in 2013, which generally improved her symptoms. Tissue biopsy showed abundant eosinophils in nasal polyps. She used daily puffs of a budesonide/formoterol inhaler for asthma control. (Table)
