In this video soundbite from the EAACI 2025 symposium, Dr. Brian Lipworth discusses that co-existing type 2 inflammatory diseases are common in patients with CRSwNP​ & increasing severity of asthma is associated with higher severity of CRS and prevalence of nasal polyps. Additionally, he explains that patient burden is substantially greater when asthma and CRSwNP are co-existing.
