Polyposis, asthma, aspirin-intolerance and aspirin-triad are mostly accompanied with eosinophilia of mucosal airways. Chemotactic cytokines, the CC-chemokines regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed (RANTES), eotaxin, and eotaxin-2 activate and attract eosinophilic leukocytes to the site of inflammation. This points to the implication of CC-chemokines in eosinophilia of nasal tissue of these diseases.
