Anti-Ige monoclonal antibody therapy for the treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis: a multi-disciplinary practice review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Several treatment options have been described for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), yet many patients remain poorly responsive to medical and surgical therapy. Recently, antiIgE monoclonal antibody has emerged as a potential therapy for CRS. However, to date evidence for its efficacy in this patient population is sparse. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of anti-IgE monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with recalcitrant CRS and asthma treated in a multi-disciplinary clinic.
