Background:

Olfactory dysfunction is 1 of the hallmark symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Eosinophilic in- flammation has been implicated as a potential causative factor. However, prior studies have been limited by ret- rospective study designs, concomitant use of systemic corticosteroids, and other confounding factors.
