2016 VAM: 1206 - Inflammatory Origins of CRS: Uncovering Opportunities for Disease Prevention and Modification

The goal of this session is to explore the role of Inflammation in Chronic Rhinosinusitis. As we move away from an infectious etiology as the primary trigger for sinus disease and more toward a complex model if multiple inflammatory pathways, we hope to move this topic toward the practicing clinician. 

The mucosal/bacterial interface, whether in a biofilm or as a result of the microbiome is thought to drive much of this inflammation.  Additionally, as the role of non-antimicrobial therapy increases for CRS, we will explore some of the new inflammatory pathways and look at the emerging therapies for CRS.
