This temporal classificationsystemsays very little aboutthe etiology of CRS, which
remainsidiopathicintheoverwhelmingmajorityofcases.Averysmallfraction,however,areassociated
with systemic diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, or cystic fibrosis, and these are
beyondthescopeofthischapter.
Rhinosinusitis is defined according to the Rhino sinusitis Task Force (RTF)

Intermsofsymptoms,
diagnosis requires at least two symptoms of nasal obstruction/blockage/congestion, purulent nasal
discharge(anteriororposterior),facialpain/pressure,andhyposmia.TheEPOSguidelines(Table7.3)
goonestepfurtherandstipulatethat at leastonesymptommustbe obstruction/blockage/congestionor

Althoughthesensitivityofsymptomsishigh,thespecificityislow.Positivecomputedtomography(CT)
scanswithLund–Mackayscores(Table7.4)of4ormorearefoundinonly20to36%ofpatientsmeeting
symptom criteria for CRS.

Therefore, thediagnosis of CRS should be accompanied byobjective
evidence inthe 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
characterizedbyair–fluidlevels,thickenedmucosa,orpolyps,withinthesinuses.TheseobjectiveCTor
endoscopic findings are important as they typically divide CRS into two broad subtypes: chronic
rhinosinusitiswithoutnasalpolyps(CRSsNP)andchronicrhinosinusitiswithnasalpolyps(CRSwNP),
whichwillbediscussedinmoredetailbelow.

Pathophysiology
Acute viral rhinitis/rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory process of the nose and the paranasal sinuses,
causedmostlybyinfectionwithrhinoviruses,RSV,adenoviruses,influenzaviruses,parainfluenzaviruses,
coronaviruses, and others.
7,20
The viral infection frequently begins inthe nasal/nasopharygeal mucosa
and,upondetectionbythehost,invokestwointeractiveandtemporallyoverlappingdefensesystems:A
generalized, innate immune response and a virus-specific, adaptive immune response. Both systems
includeinflammatorypathwaysthatfacilitateandactivelyrecruitantiviralproteinsandeffectorcellsto
thesiteofinfection.
7
Rhinovirusesaccountfor30to50%ofallcolds,andcoronavirusesarethesecond
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
hypersecretionispartlyresponsibleforthetypicaltemporaryolfactorydisorderthataccompaniesthese
viral URTIs. Nasal congestion in viral rhinitis is caused by the dilation of large veins in the nasal
epithelium(venoussinuses)inresponsetothegenerationofvasodilatormediatorsofinflammationsuch
asbradykinin,andswellingofmucousmembranesthatblockodortransporttowardtheolfactorymucosa.
The nasal dischargeassociated withviral rhinitis is a complex mix ofelements derived from glands,
goblet cells, plasma cells, and plasma exudates from capillaries, with the relative contributions from
thesedifferentsourcesvaryingwiththetimecourseoftheinfectionandtheseverityoftheinflammatory
response.
19
Moreover, numerous proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines and other mediators (e.g.,
histamine,leukotrienes,prostaglandins)havebeenreportedtobeinvolvedintheinflammatoryregulation
ofviralrhinitisandmightcontributetotheolfactorydisorder.However,appropriatestudiessupporting
thishypothesisarelacking.
If the clinical course is prolonged (more than 7 to 10 days) or complicated (e.g., purulent nasal
secretion), bacterial superinfectionshouldbe assumed.Some ofthe mainpathogensare Streptococcus
pneumoniaeorpyogenes,Haemophilusinfluenzae,Staphylococcusaureus,orMoraxellacatarrhalis.
21

Overall, however, only ~1% of viral respiratory infections lead to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
13
Pathologically,swellingofthenasalmucosapromotesblockadeoftheosteomeatalcomplexinthemiddle
meatus, followed by subsequent impairment of ventilation and drainage of the sinuses, and bacterial
superinfection.Other nonswellinginduced mechanisms,such as enhancedbacterial adhesion during the
viral replication phase, also promote superinfection (e.g., between influenza A virus infections and
streptococci).
Attheinitialinflammatoryphasethereisoverexpressionofinterleukin-6(IL-6),IL-8,andintercellular
adhesion molecule(ICAM).Apossiblesourceofthesecytokinesand ICAMisairwayepithelialcells.
The CXC-chemokine IL-8 has potent chemotactic properties for neutrophils, which are capable of
releasingproteasesandcytokines(e.g.,IL-8,tumornecrosisfactorα)aseffectorcellsinARS.
13
These
proinflammatorymediatorsalsoactivateT-helper(T
h
)cells,andmediatethemigrationofmacrophages
intotheinflamedtissue.IL-1β,IL-12,andotherproinflammatorycytokinesareupregulatedtoinitiateand
maintain cellular defense. As theseinflammatoryprocesses involve theolfactory 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-
relatedfunctionalimpairment(e.g.,virulencefactorsorimmunomodulatorybacterialproducts).
OlfactoryDysfunction
Olfactorydysfunctionistemporaryandmildormoderateinmostpatientswithacuteviralrhinitisoracute
bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS), and typically olfactory function mirrors the clinical course of the
respiratorydisease. Akerlundetal

studied olfactorythresholdsandnasal mucosalchangesinpatients
with experimentallyinduced 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
congestionbutnottothenasaldischarge.Hummeletal

andreportedthatN1CSERPamplitudes toolfactorystimuli—butnotolfactorythresholdsortrigeminal
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,itappearsthatthetemporaryolfactorydysfunctionassociatedwithviralrhinitisresultsmainly
from conductive causes owing to nasal blockage, but an inflammatory interaction with the olfactory
epitheliumorcentral olfactorystructures also appears possible. The endonasal regions that havebeen
showntoinfluencetheolfactoryperformancearedepictedinFig.7.1.
Treatment
Temporaryhyposmiaoranosmia,occurringduringacuteviralinfectionoftheupperrespiratorytract,is
thoughtnottorequirespecifictherapy.Usually,viralrhinitisistreatedsymptomaticallywithdrugssuch
as topical antihistamines, topical anticholinergic drops, decongestants, and antiphlogistic drugs.
However,theireffectsonolfactoryfunctionremainunclear.

ABRS resolves withoutantibiotic treatment in most cases. Antibiotic or anti-inflammatory therapy
should be considered in patients suffering from repeated severe episodes of ABRS with significant

Decongestants, mucolytic agents, and nasal or oral steroids are in widespread use is adjuvant

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), AR is subdivided, based on the duration of
symptoms,into“intermittent”(symptomson<4daysperweekoron<4weeksperyear)and“persistent”
(symptomson>4daysperweekandon>4weeksperyear).
6,23
Theseverityofsymptomsinuntreated
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”(severesymptoms,restrictionoflifequality,school,andwork).ThesymptomsofARarecaused
by the interaction of inflammatory mediators with glandular, vascular, or neurogenic structures of the
nose.Nasalsecretionsresultfromanincreaseofplasmaexudatesorsecretionsofsubmucosalglandsand

25
There are three reasonsforolfactory disorderinAR: (1) Conductive olfactory dysfunction(dueto
swelling of nasal mucous membranes or massive hypersecretion); (2) changes in olfactory mucus
(qualitativeorquantitative);and(3)directeffectsofmucosalinflammationon theolfactorycleft.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.

Morerecently,Yeeetalidentifiedthreepatternsofmucosal

48
While many patients demonstrated normal olfactory neuroepithelium,
severaldistincthistologicalpatternsweredescribed,apparentlyreflectinglocalpathological responses
tovariousdegreesofchronicinflammation.Thegobletcellhyperplasia pattern ischaracterizedbythe
presenceofgobletcells intermixedwith olfactorysupportingcells with preservationoftheunderlying
neuronallayers withinthe olfactory epithelium.Undernormal circumstances, gobletcellsare 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
transformationintoacontinuoussquamouslayer.Thispatternisalsocharacterizedbyhyperproliferation
of basal layers. The squamous change has been hypothesized to be a protective response to injury,
irritation,andchronicinflammation,butthismayactuallyinhibitrecoveryofsensoryepithelium.Finally,
theerosivepattern canrangefrom mildlossofapical celllayersandsome supportingcells,tosevere
erosionwithpreservationofonlyafewlayersofbasalcells,tocompleteerosionwithexposedbasement
membrane.This pattern is presumed to resultfrom the local activity ofdegradative enzymes released
frominflammatorycells,renderingtheepitheliumvulnerabletomechanicalstressesandsloughing.Itis
postulatedthatthesepatternsrepresentaspectrumofdiseaseintensity.Givenadecreasingprevalenceof

eosinophils, macrophages, and neutrophils from erosion, to squamous metaplasia, to goblet cell
hyperplasia, itispossible thatthismay representa sequenceofdamagefollowedbyrepair.However,
whether this representsanorderlyprogressionofchangeremainsunclear.Lastly,itshould bebornein
mind that olfactory mucus has vastlydifferent ion concentrations from surrounding respiratory mucus.
Maintenance of this ionic milieu is critical for olfactory transduction along the apical surface of the
sensoryepithelium.
