Important relationships exist between the upper and lower airways. It is well known that sinusitis and asthma coexist in many patients, and evidence is accumulating that there may be a cause-and-effect relationship, that is, that sinusitis is an important trigger for asthma. Studies in children and adults indicate that appropriate medical and/or surgical therapy of sinusitis frequently leads to improvement in the asthmatic state. Possible mechanisms for this relationship include the eosinophil acting as an effector cell, inflammatory mediators, and a vagal reflex. Further investigations need to examine both prospective studies of the effect of medical therapy for sinusitis on asthma and basic mechanisms relating the upper and lower airways.
