[ESPECIALLY CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS ASSOCIATED WITH GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE]

to study the clinical and laboratory features of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

The study involved 87 patients with complaints of difficulty in nasal breathing and 30 healthy volunteers with no pathology ENT and GERD. The diagnosis of CRS met the criteria EPOS 2012. Diagnosis of GERD was performed based on the recommendations of the Montreal consensus. All investigated conducted a survey for the presence of esophageal and extraesophageal manifestations of GERD, fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy, LOR examination with the use of endoscopes, rhinoscopy, laryngoscopy, computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses, pH-metry mucous secretions of the nose and pharynx using visual test - strips, microbiological examination of discharge from the middle of the nose stroke. Association of CRS with GERD with GERD compared with impaired nasal breathing inflammatory and non-inflammatory genesis in the absence of GERD and healthy volunteers accompanied by a large variety and frequency of symptoms, endoscopic signs of laryngitis back, reducing the pH of the pharynx, the change in quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the microflora of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses.
