Predicting the recurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps using nasal microbiota

Recent studies have revealed that the nasal microbiota in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is profoundly altered and is correlated with systemic inflammation. However, little is known regarding whether the microbiota can be utilized to predict nasal polyp recurrence. This study is aimed to determine whether altered nasal microbiota constituents could be used as biomarkers to predict CRSwNP recurrence.Nasal...
