title: [Asthma and polyposis].
abstract: For many years, the association between asthma and naso-sinus pathology has been noted in the literature. The role of sinus infections on the triggering or aggravation of asthma has been well established. More recently attention has been drawn to the association of the chronic inflammatory rhino-sinus pathologies such as polyposis, with asthmatic illness. Its research and identification are essential in care of the asthmatic patient, since recent work has shown the value of control of polyposis for the stability and improvement of the asthmatic illness. The authors report and analyse the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for polyposis in asthmatics.
