Abstract：
:The report states that chronic rhinosinusitis is an evolving area of study and new information is being assessed on an ongoing basis. Debate continues about potential etiologies and associated conditions, pathophysiology, common inflammatory mediators, and whether or not most cases of chronic rhinosinusitis are associated with infection. Evidence in the most recent literature supports the significant role that microbes (i.e., bacteria, fungi) play in the inflammatory process. The report discusses classification schemes, the role of potential bacterial, allergic, and fungal etiologies, and the controversies about these areas of study.
