Tissue eosinophils have been shown to be associated with polyp recurrence in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We addressed whether the mRNA levels of Charcot-Leyden Crystal (CLC) in nasal brushing samples, a molecule mainly released from activated eosinophils, could serve as an effective non-invasive biomarker to predict polyp recurrence.
