Exploring the association between ingestion of foods with higher potential salicylate content and symptom exacerbation in chronic rhinosinusitis. Data from the National Chronic Rhinosinusitis Epidemiology Study.

CONCLUSIONS: This analysis suggests that there is an association between symptom exacerbation in response to food products with higher potential salicylate content, specifically wine, in CRS patients both with and without nasal polyposis when compared to controls, but especially in the CRSwNPs and AFRS phenotypes. Further studies are needed to detail if this relationship represents a causal relationship to dietary salicylate. The data present the possibility that a wider group of CRS patients may elicit salicylate sensitivity than those with known N-ERD. PMID: 31120456 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
