Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is often characterized by
tissue eosinophilia that is associated with poor prognosis. Recent findings that proton pump
inhibitors (PPIs) directly modulate the expression of eotaxin-3, an eosinophil
chemoattractant, in patients with eosinophilic diseases suggest therapeutic potential for PPIs
in those with CRSwNP. Objective We assessed the effect of type 2 mediators, particularly IL-
13 and eotaxin-3, on tissue eosinophilia and disease severity in patients with chronic …
