Sentinels at the wall: epithelial-derived cytokines serve as triggers of upper airway type 2 inflammation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown controversial results of topical amphotericin B (AMB) nasal irrigation for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 200 μg/mL AMB nasal irrigation as an adjuvant therapy after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). METHODS:Patie...
