 This temporal classificationsystemsays very little aboutthe etiology of CRS, which
remainsidiopathicintheoverwhelmingmajorityofcases.Averysmallfraction,however,areassociated
with systemic diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, or cystic fibrosis, and these are

 and the European

Intermsofsymptoms,
diagnosis requires at least two symptoms of nasal obstruction/blockage/congestion, purulent nasal
discharge(anteriororposterior),facialpain/pressure,andhyposmia.TheEPOSguidelines(Table7.3)
goonestepfurtherandstipulatethat at leastonesymptommustbe obstruction/blockage/congestionor
nasaldischarge.TheguidelinesforthediagnosisofCRSincludebothsubjectiveandobjectivecriteria.
Althoughthesensitivityofsymptomsishigh,thespecificityislow.Positivecomputedtomography(CT)

 Therefore, thediagnosis of CRS should be accompanied byobjective
evidence inthe form of endoscopic or radiographic correlation.Specifically, endoscopic evidence of
CRS may take the form of middle meatal edema, polyps, or purulence. CT evidence of CRS is
characterizedbyair–fluidlevels,thickenedmucosa,orpolyps,withinthesinuses.TheseobjectiveCTor
endoscopic findings are important as they typically divide CRS into two broad subtypes: chronic
rhinosinusitiswithoutnasalpolyps(CRSsNP)andchronicrhinosinusitiswithnasalpolyps(CRSwNP),

ClincalCourse
Acute viral rhinitis (common cold) is defined as a as sudden onset, acute inflammation of the upper
airwaylastinglessthan10days.
6
Commoninitialsymptoms/signsareburningsensationslocatedinthe
noseornasopharynx,consistentwithanunderlyingviralinfection.Thecardinalsymptomsofacuteviral
rhinitisare nasal obstruction/blockage, nasal discharge (anterior/postnasaldrip),hyposmiaor anosmia,
and,dependingontheclinicalcourse,generalsymptoms.Thenasalsymptom–signcomplexforrhinovirus
andinfluenzaoccurswithin3daysafterexposure;thatforrespiratorysyncytialviruses(RSV)isdelayed
byasmuchas 7days.

Thesystemic symptomsoffever,headache, malaise, myalgia,andanorexiaare
relatedtotheeffectsofcytokinesreleasedfromimmunecells,andtheseresponsesdeveloprapidlyinthe
firstdaysofinfectionwhen the virus is detected bythe immunesystem.Thelocal symptoms of nasal
congestion and rhinorrhea are dependent on the generation of inflammatory mediators such as
prostaglandinsandbradykinin.

Pathophysiology
Acute viral rhinitis/rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory process of the nose and the paranasal sinuses,
causedmostlybyinfectionwithrhinoviruses,RSV,adenoviruses,influenzaviruses,parainfluenzaviruses,
coronaviruses, and others.
7,20
 The viral infection frequently begins inthe nasal/nasopharygeal mucosa
and,upondetectionbythehost,invokestwointeractiveandtemporallyoverlappingdefensesystems:A
generalized, innate immune response and a virus-specific, adaptive immune response. Both systems
includeinflammatorypathwaysthatfacilitateandactivelyrecruitantiviralproteinsandeffectorcellsto
thesiteofinfection.
7
Rhinovirusesaccountfor30to50%ofallcolds,andcoronavirusesarethesecond
most common agent, accounting for 10 to 15% of colds.
19
 These infections do not usually cause a
substantial destruction of olfactory epithelium. Nasal obstruction due to mucosal swelling with
hypersecretionispartlyresponsibleforthetypicaltemporaryolfactorydisorderthataccompaniesthese
viral URTIs. Nasal congestion in viral rhinitis is caused by the dilation of large veins in the nasal
epithelium(venoussinuses)inresponsetothegenerationofvasodilatormediatorsofinflammationsuch
asbradykinin,andswellingofmucousmembranesthatblockodortransporttowardtheolfactorymucosa.
The nasal dischargeassociated withviral rhinitis is a complex mix ofelements derived from glands,
goblet cells, plasma cells, and plasma exudates from capillaries, with the relative contributions from
thesedifferentsourcesvaryingwiththetimecourseoftheinfectionandtheseverityoftheinflammatory
response.
19
 Moreover, numerous proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines and other mediators (e.g.,
histamine,leukotrienes,prostaglandins)havebeenreportedtobeinvolvedintheinflammatoryregulation
ofviralrhinitisandmightcontributetotheolfactorydisorder.However,appropriatestudiessupporting
thishypothesisarelacking.
If the clinical course is prolonged (more than 7 to 10 days) or complicated (e.g., purulent nasal
secretion), bacterial superinfectionshouldbe assumed.Some ofthe mainpathogensare Streptococcus
pneumoniaeorpyogenes,Haemophilusinfluenzae,Staphylococcusaureus,orMoraxellacatarrhalis.
21
Overall, however, only ~1% of viral respiratory infections lead to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
13
Pathologically,swellingofthenasalmucosapromotesblockadeoftheosteomeatalcomplexinthemiddle
meatus, followed by subsequent impairment of ventilation and drainage of the sinuses, and bacterial
superinfection.Other nonswellinginduced mechanisms,such as enhancedbacterial adhesion during the
viral replication phase, also promote superinfection (e.g., between influenza A virus infections and
streptococci).
Attheinitialinflammatoryphasethereisoverexpressionofinterleukin-6(IL-6),IL-8,andintercellular
adhesion molecule(ICAM).Apossiblesourceofthesecytokinesand ICAMisairwayepithelialcells.
The CXC-chemokine IL-8 has potent chemotactic properties for neutrophils, which are capable of
releasingproteasesandcytokines(e.g.,IL-8,tumornecrosisfactorα)aseffectorcellsinARS.
13
These
proinflammatorymediatorsalsoactivateT-helper(T
h
)cells,andmediatethemigrationofmacrophages
intotheinflamedtissue.IL-1β,IL-12,andotherproinflammatorycytokinesareupregulatedtoinitiateand
maintain cellular defense. As theseinflammatoryprocesses involve theolfactory epithelium,olfactory
disorders associated with ARS may also be a result of infiltration of the olfactory epithelium with
inflammatory cells, of interaction with the involved inflammatory mediators, or of a direct infection-
relatedfunctionalimpairment(e.g.,virulencefactorsorimmunomodulatorybacterialproducts).
OlfactoryDysfunction
Olfactorydysfunctionistemporaryandmildormoderateinmostpatientswithacuteviralrhinitisoracute
bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS), and typically olfactory function mirrors the clinical course of the
respiratorydisease. Akerlundetal
9
studied olfactorythresholdsandnasal mucosalchangesinpatients
with experimentallyinduced common colds. They found that individuals with an induced coronavirus
229E rhinitis had impaired olfaction and that the change in smelling ability correlated to the nasal
congestionbutnottothenasaldischarge.Hummeletal
22
foundthefollowingeffectsonolfactionafterthe
onsetofviralrhinitis:atransientincreaseinolfactorythreshold;adecreaseofodorintensityrating;anda
decrease in the N1 peak of chemosensoryevent-related potential (CSERP)amplitudeto olfactory and
trigeminalstimuli.Theyalsostudiedtheeffectofnasaldecongestionwithoxymetazolineduringthecold
andreportedthatN1CSERPamplitudes toolfactorystimuli—butnotolfactorythresholdsortrigeminal
CSERP—exhibited a significant increase. Hummel et al
22
 concluded from this observation that viral
rhinitis has a small effect on olfactory function that may be independent of nasal congestion. To
summarize,itappearsthatthetemporaryolfactorydysfunctionassociatedwithviralrhinitisresultsmainly
from conductive causes owing to nasal blockage, but an inflammatory interaction with the olfactory
epitheliumorcentral olfactorystructures also appears possible. The endonasal regions that havebeen
showntoinfluencetheolfactoryperformancearedepictedinFig.7.1.
Treatment
Temporaryhyposmiaoranosmia,occurringduringacuteviralinfectionoftheupperrespiratorytract,is
thoughtnottorequirespecifictherapy.Usually,viralrhinitisistreatedsymptomaticallywithdrugssuch
as topical antihistamines, topical anticholinergic drops, decongestants, and antiphlogistic drugs.
However,theireffectsonolfactoryfunctionremainunclear.

Fig. 7.1 Endonasal regions that influence olfactory performance (indicated in orange). (From Hummel T, Welge-Lüssen A. Riech- und
Schmeckstorungen:Physiologie,PathophysiologieundTherapeutischeAnsatze.Stuttgart:Thieme;2005.)
ABRS resolves withoutantibiotic treatment in most cases. Antibiotic or anti-inflammatory therapy
should be considered in patients suffering from repeated severe episodes of ABRS with significant
prolongedolfactorydysfunction.Antibiotictherapyshouldtargetthemainpathogens.First-linetherapyat
mostcentersisusuallyamoxicillin,oramacrolideantibioticinpatientsallergictopenicillin,becauseof
the low cost,easeofadministration,andlowtoxicity oftheseagents.Ifpatientsfail torespond tothe
initialcourseoftreatment,analternativeantibacterialagentshouldbeconsidered.Ideally,anasalswab
testshouldbeconductedbeforeinitiatinganalternativeregimen.
Decongestants, mucolytic agents, and nasal or oral steroids are in widespread use is adjuvant
therapies. While the evidence for treatment with decongestants and mucolytics mainly results from
clinical experience, several studies have documented positive effects of flunisolide, budesonide, and
mometasoneonABRSsymptoms.Iflocaldecongestantsareused,theyshouldbeplacedoncottonasso-
called high inlay in the middle meatus.
13
 The efficacy of antibiotics or adjuvant drugs on olfactory
disordersinABRShasnotbeensystematicallyevaluated.
AllergicRhinitis
ClincalCourse
ARisasymptomaticnasalhypersensitivityreactioncausedbyallergen-inducedimmunoglobulinE(IgE)-
mediatedinflammationofthemucousmembrane.
6
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), AR is subdivided, based on the duration of
symptoms,into“intermittent”(symptomson<4daysperweekoron<4weeksperyear)and“persistent”
(symptomson>4daysperweekandon>4weeksperyear).
6,23
Theseverityofsymptomsinuntreated
patients should be quantified, according to the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA)
guidelines, as “mild” (mild symptoms, no impact on social life, school, and work) or “moderate to
severe”(severesymptoms,restrictionoflifequality,school,andwork).ThesymptomsofARarecaused
by the interaction of inflammatory mediators with glandular, vascular, or neurogenic structures of the
nose.Nasalsecretionsresultfromanincreaseofplasmaexudatesorsecretionsofsubmucosalglandsand
goblet cells, triggered by parasympathetic innervations or by increased transmitter release (e.g.,
vasoactiveintestinalpeptide,themainsourcemaybealsoT
h
2lymphocytes).Sneezingisaconsequence
of trigeminal nerve fiber stimulation by histamine, bradykinin, or various neuropeptides. Acute nasal
blockageiscausedbydilationandfillingofvenoussinusoidstriggeredbyparasympathetictransmitters.
Thelong-termdecreaseinnasalbreathingisthoughttoresultfromthickeningofthevascularconnective
tissue due to infiltration with inflammatory cells, organized edema, and fibrosis. However, airway
remodelingappearstobelessextensiveinthenasalmucosathaninthebronchialmucosa.
8,23
Pathophysiology
TheimmuneresponseinARinvolvesthereleaseofinflammatorymediatorsaswellastheactivationand
recruitment of cells to the nasal mucosa. In AR, different stages of the disease can be distinguished.
Duringsensitization,antigen-presentingcellsplayacrucialrole.Dendriticcellstakeuptheallergenand
migratetothemucosa-associatedlymphoidtissueandnecklymphnodes,wheretheyprimenaïveCD4+
T-lymphocytes (T
h
0 cells) that bear receptors for the specific antigen. The nasal mucosa in AR is
characterizedbythepresenceofahighpercentageofactivatedT
h
2cellsreleasingIL-4,IL-5,andIL-13.
IL-4 andIL-13thenactonB-cells topromote productionofantigen-specific IgE antibodies. Allergen-
specific IgE becomes fixed tohighaffinity IgE receptors (FcεRI)onthe membranes of mast cells and
basophils.Mastcellsarenotonlyeffectorcellsoftheimmediatephaseresponse,butalsoplayarolein
ongoing allergic inflammation. Eosinophils are both increased in numbers and activated in the nasal
mucosa of symptomatic allergic patients. T-cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, and other cells are also
present.Oncethepatientissensitizedtothespecificallergen,subsequentexposureleadstoacascadeof
events that resultinthe symptoms of AR. Theallergic response can be divided intotwo phases: The
immediateresponse(withinminutes afterallergen exposure)andthe late-phaseresponse(4 to8hours
afterallergenexposure).
23
OlfactoryDysfunction
Olfactorydysfunctionhasbeenreportedin~23to88%ofpatientswithAR.
24,25
InAR,thereisusuallya
temporaryquantitative olfactory dysfunctionwith periodsofreducedor abrogated olfactory sensitivity
duringallergenexposure.
26
Insubjectswithgrasspollenallergies,performanceinolfactoryidentification
and discrimination tests is not different from nonallergic controls if tested out of the season, but a
significantdecreaseinodorthresholdandodoridentificationhasbeenreportedfromtheseventhdayof
theallergyseasoninuntreatedpatients.
27
InpersistentAR,patientshaveamorestable,moderatelossof
smell,withahigherimpairmentinthosewithself-reportedhyposmiaandmoderate-to-severerhinitis.
28
Patients with dust mite rhinitis performed worse than healthy controls in odor identification, odor
threshold,andodordiscriminationtestingduringthewinterseason,whenhighallergenexposuremaybe
expected.
25
There are three reasonsforolfactory disorderinAR: (1) Conductive olfactory dysfunction(dueto
swelling of nasal mucous membranes or massive hypersecretion); (2) changes in olfactory mucus
(qualitativeorquantitative);and(3)directeffectsofmucosalinflammationon theolfactorycleft.With
few exceptions (e.g., upregulation of eosinophil cationic protein), the interactions between
immunoinflammatory or neurogenic mediators and the olfactory epithelium are widely unknown in
AR.
23,27,29
Infiltrationoftheolfactorycleftmucosawitheosinophilshasbeendescribedinhumanswith
seasonalAR,
29
andasignificantrelationshipbetweenolfactorythresholdandeosinophillevelsinblood
andnasaldischargehasbeenreported.
30
Itisthereforethoughtthatthemostimportantcausesofolfactory
dysfunctioninAR are infiltration byinflammatorycells andupregulationof immunological mediators,
alteringthefunctionofneurogenicolfactorystructures.

Treatment
Althoughthegeneralconsensusisthatallergenavoidanceshouldleadtoanimprovementinsymptoms,a
systematic review ofdust miteallergen avoidancehas shownthat single measures arenot effectivein
reducingsymptomsofAR.Theroleofallergenavoidancefortheimprovementofolfactorydisordersis
notyetclear.
13,23
Topicalsteroidshavebeenusedsuccessfullytoimproveodorthreshold,odoridentification,andodor
discrimination.
26,29
 Topical steroids are superior to antihistamines intreatment of nasal congestion in
seasonalAR,andparticularlyinthe improvement ofolfactoryfunction.
31
However,usingconventional
dropsorspraydevices,mostofthedrugisdepositedintheanteriorthirdofthenasalcavity,andhasno
directeffectontheolfactoryregion.
32,33
Toachievebetterdepositionofthedrugatorneartheolfactory
cleft,nasal drops canbe administered in theso-called head-down-forward position,
33
 or sprays with
prolongedapplicatorsorcannulaeshouldbeused(Fig.7.2).
34

Patients can be trained with video endoscopy to locate the head of the spray cannula correctly.
Additionally,oralsteroidscanbeusedintherapy-refractoryrhinitis,especiallyasaso-calledshort-term
oral steroid trial insevere cases. The short-term administrationoftopical decongestants may provide
additiveeffectsasatrailblazerforotheranti-inflammatorydrugsinpatientswithseverenasalblockage.

The

AtrophicRhinitis
Primary atrophic rhinitis is characterized by progressive atrophy of the nasal mucosa and underlying
bone.Ciliatedepitheliumisreplacedbystratifiedsquamousepithelium.Thenasalcavityiswidenedand
isfilledwithstinkingcruststhatareblackordarkgreenanddry.Ithasbeenattributedtoinfectionwith
Klebsiella ozaenae, although its role as a primary pathogen has notbeen determined.

 The condition
produces nasal obstruction, a persistent hyposmia or anosmia, and an unpleasant odor. It must be
distinguished from secondary atrophic rhinitis, which is associated with specific conditions such as

ChronicRhinosinusitis
ClinicalCourse
According to the definition, symptoms of rhinosinusitis include facial pain and pressure, nasal
obstruction,drainage,andhyposmia.WhileviralURTIshaveanestablishedalthoughunknownincidence
ofolfactoryloss (seeChapter 8),neitherARSnorRARShavea significantassociationwitholfactory
loss. CRS,onthe otherhand, isassociatedwith olfactory deficits,but literatureontheoutcomeofits
treatmenthasfocusedonreliefofobstructionandpain/pressuresymptomswithrelativelylittledataon
eithertheincidenceofsmelllossinCRSorimprovementposttreatment.Morerecentstudies,whichhave
focused on this issue, demonstrated that olfactory dysfunction occurs in over 60% of patients with
CRS,
2,41
 even though 8 to 25% of these patients are not aware of their olfactory deficit.
42,43
 Nasal
polyposis, asthma,acetylsalicylic acidintolerance,andrevisionsurgeryareriskfactorsforhyposmia
andanosmiainpatientswithCRS.
1,44
Furthermore,thedegreeofolfactorydysfunctioncorrelateswiththe
burdenofinflammatorydiseaseonendoscopyandCT.Thediagnosis,asmentionedintheintroduction,is
made according to RTF
15
 and EPOS guidelines,
13
 the latter of which also distinguishes acute from
recurrentandchronicrhinosinusitis.Endoscopically,twodifferentforms,CRSsNPandCRSwNP,canbe
distinguished.Theetiologyofbothformsremainsunclearandsignificantoverlapcanexist,buttheycan
bedistinguishedtoadegreebythepatternofinflammationandclinicalcourse.Specifically,CRSwNPis
associatedwithaT
h
2patternofinflammationandmore pronouncedsymptomsofobstructionandsmell
lossthanCRSsNP.CRSsNPexhibitsaT
h
1patternofinflammationandmorepronouncedcomplaintsof
drainage andfacial pressure.
45
 While both forms can cause smell loss, the presence of nasal polyps
carriesanoddsratioof2.38forriskofhyposmia.

Pathophysiology
BiopsyoftheolfactorymucosademonstratesinflammatorychangesinCRS,suggestingthatdirectdamage
tothereceptorepitheliumcontributestoolfactorydysfunctioninCRSpatients(Fig.7.3).Moreover,there
appears tobeacorrelationbetweentheintensityoftheinflammationintheolfactorymucosaonbiopsy
andthepresenceofolfactorydysfunction.
46,47
Morerecently,Yeeetalidentifiedthreepatternsofmucosal
change associated with CRS.
48
 While many patients demonstrated normal olfactory neuroepithelium,
severaldistincthistologicalpatternsweredescribed,apparentlyreflectinglocalpathological responses
tovariousdegreesofchronicinflammation.Thegobletcellhyperplasia pattern ischaracterizedbythe
presenceofgobletcells intermixedwith olfactorysupportingcells with preservationoftheunderlying
neuronallayers withinthe olfactory epithelium.Undernormal circumstances, gobletcellsare typically
found in the respiratory epithelium only, and not the olfactory epithelium. The squamous metaplasia
pattern is characterized by a change of the apical layers to thick squamous layers extending into the
olfactory epithelium. Severe squamous metaplasia is characterized by sloughing of apical layers with
transformationintoacontinuoussquamouslayer.Thispatternisalsocharacterizedbyhyperproliferation
of basal layers. The squamous change has been hypothesized to be a protective response to injury,
irritation,andchronicinflammation,butthismayactuallyinhibitrecoveryofsensoryepithelium.Finally,
theerosivepattern canrangefrom mildlossofapical celllayersandsome supportingcells,tosevere
erosionwithpreservationofonlyafewlayersofbasalcells,tocompleteerosionwithexposedbasement
membrane.This pattern is presumed to resultfrom the local activity ofdegradative enzymes released
frominflammatorycells,renderingtheepitheliumvulnerabletomechanicalstressesandsloughing.Itis
postulatedthatthesepatternsrepresentaspectrumofdiseaseintensity.Givenadecreasingprevalenceof
eosinophils, macrophages, and neutrophils from erosion, to squamous metaplasia, to goblet cell
hyperplasia, itispossible thatthismay representa sequenceofdamagefollowedbyrepair.However,
whether this representsanorderlyprogressionofchangeremainsunclear.Lastly,itshould bebornein
mind that olfactory mucus has vastlydifferent ion concentrations from surrounding respiratory mucus.
Maintenance of this ionic milieu is critical for olfactory transduction along the apical surface of the
sensoryepithelium.
49,50
Althoughthistopichasnotbeenproperlystudied,chronicinflammationislikely
toaltertheseconcentrationswithsecondary,negativeeffectsonolfaction.Mostlikely,olfactorydeficits
inpatientswithCRSarethesummationofdiminishedairflow,damagetotheepithelium,andalterations
tothelocalionicmicroenvironment.

MedicalTreatment
The medical treatment ofCRS depends onits pheno type. For CRSsNP,treatment should include oral
antibiotictherapyformorethan2weeksaswellasintranasalsteroidsandnasalsalinedouches.There
arenocleardataontheefficacyoforalsteroids,buttheyareincludedinguidelinerecommendationsin
some countries (e.g., Germany), and they are commonly prescribed for unresponsive patients, in
particularthosewithsignificantconcomitantAR.Theuseoforalprednisone,inadditiontoantibiotics,is
particularlycommoninpatientswithCRSsNPwhopresentwithsignificantolfactorydeficits.Thechoice
ofantibioticshouldbedirectedagainstorganismsisolatedonculturewhenpossible,but,whenpurulent
secretionsarenotidentified,abroadspectrumantibioticwithcoverageforgram-positive,gram-negative,
andsomeanaerobiccoverageshouldbeinitiated.
51
CRSwNP is typically more responsive to corticosteroid treatment, and current recommendations
includetheuseofsteroids(bothoralandintranasal)aswellasnasalsalinedouches.Steroidtherapyhas
beenshowntoreverseolfactorydysfunction,althougheffectstendtobeincompleteandtransient.Seiden
andDuncanperformedaretrospectivestudyofpatientswithhyposmia/anosmiaasaprimarysymptom.
52
Aftera“pulsedose”oforalsteroids,theyfoundthat83%(30/36)improved,whileonly25%(13/52)of
those treated with topical steroids noticed improvement. Complete failure to respond to oral
