We explore epidemiology CRS highlight key viruses may cause exacerbation. also review current understanding infections upper airway to explain putative underlying mechanisms inflammatory events Advances accurate diagnosis etiologic symptoms which can lead better management are surveyed. addition treatments provide relief, potential harnessing existing antiviral strategies prevent exacerbation, especially with improved diagnostic tools guide prescription antivirals against causative viruses.
