RESUMEN
At present, many authors accept the many-factor theory of development of polypous rhinosinusitis associated with bronchial asthma according to which this condition should be regarded as an inflammatory syndrome in subjects predisposed to a specific tissue reaction. Inflammation induced by an infection is accompanied by the release of protease-inhibiting enzymes that turn inflammation into a chronic process thereby contributing to tissue disintegration, remodeling of mucous membranes, and development of polyps.
