Abstract

Introduction: Several previous studies have investigated the significance of interleukin 17 (IL-17) in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis; however, the importance of IL-23 has not been studied. We investigated the significance of IL-17 and IL-23 in the pathogenesis of by chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis measuring the levels of these proinflammatory cytokines in serum and nasal lavage samples.
