Description
Mariana Dalbo Contrera Toro leads a 2026 study linking long-term sinus disease with small airway problems in the lungs. The work rests on the idea that upper and lower airways share one disease process, even in people without asthma.
Blood eosinophil counts moved opposite to several standard breathing measures, so higher counts went with worse airflow. A test called impulse oscillometry gave readings that fit small airway disease in the sinus patients. Worse sinus symptom scores on the SNOT-22 scale also went with lower lung volumes. By contrast, total IgE and allergy sensitization showed no link to either test. The results support checking lung health in sinus patients.
