The abatement of local mucosal immunity as the factor of nasal polyposis recidivation

Abstract

Assessment of the role of mucosal immunity in nasal polyposis recidivation was carried out. The density and the composition of inflammatory infiltrate in polyps from the patients with the primary and the recurrent nasal polyposis were researched. In nasal lavage the composition of the cells and the content of interleukin-4 and interferon-γ were estimated. It was shown that the polyposis recidivation occurs during the progression of local immune insufficiency.
