- Background:- Allergy is a leading factor to chronic rhinosinusitis
with multiple causes. Chronic rhinosinusitis is correlated with various
disorders as atopic disease, cystic fibrosis, immunologic disorders and ciliary
dyskinesia. Objective: To assess the epidemiology of allergic rhinitis in
Jordanian patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Methods:- Our prospective study
included 115 participants, of both sexes, aged 18-38 years and with clinical
features of chronic rhinosinusitis diagnosed by endoscopic and radiologic
criteria at King Hussein hospital, King Hussein medical center, Amman, Jordan,
during the period Jan 2015-Feb 2016. Allergic rhinitis was diagnosed in terms
of the patient’s history including frequent inhalant allergens. After finishing
the physical examination and recording the endoscopic detections, the data was
analyzed and P value was recorded significant if < 0.05. Results:- The mean
age of participants was 32 years. Males were more affected than females, 57.4
%(66) and 42.6 %(49), respectively. The incidence of polypoid and none-polypoid
rhinosinusitis was 54.8 % (63) and 45.2 % (52), respectively. The patient s’
most frequent clinical features were nasal discharge (93.04%) and blockage
(90.4%).There were no significant discrepancies in allergic response between
polypoid and non-polypoid chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Conclusion:-
Allergic responses in Jordanian chronic rhinosinusitis patients are more than
in Jordanian general population in Amman with allergic rhinitis only. - Seemore at: .
