Popis: To investigate the clinical significance of specific IgE-staphylococcal enterotoxin B (IgE-SEB) in CRS (chronic rhinosinusitis).Retrospective analysis of patients who were positive for specific IgE-staphylococcal enterotoxin B.Tertiary rhinology clinic.A total of 965 patients who were tested for specific IgE-staphylococcal enterotoxin B from December 2016 to December 2017.We retrospectively reviewed the records of 965 patients who were tested for specific IgE-staphylococcal enterotoxin B from December 2016 to December 2017. Patient demographics, titre-specific IgE to staphylococcal enterotoxin B levels, MAST, serologic test and medical records were reviewed.IgE-SEB (KU/L) was higher in CRS patients than non-CRS patients (0.13 ± 0.37 vs 0.08 ± 0.22, respectively; P-value: .044), and the IgE-SEB (+, ≥0.35) rate was also higher (10.06% vs 4.46%, respectively; P-value: .030). IgE-SEB (KU/L) was higher in the CRS group than in the fungal sinusitis group (0.13 ± 0.37 vs 0.03 ± 0.05, respectively; P-value:.001), and the IgE-SEB (+, ≥0.35) rate was also higher (10.06% vs 0%, respectively; P-value: .015). Between the CRSsNP (chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps) and CRSwNP (chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps) groups, there were no differences in IgE-SEB (KU/L) or IgE-SEB (+) rates. IgE-SEB positivity was not associated with the presence of polyps, concomitant asthma or postoperative recurrence. As the values of IgE-SEB (KU/L) and the IgE-SEB (+,0.1) rate increased, the CRS severity also increased.IgE-SEB showed a positive correlation with Lund-Mackay CT severity score, but not with postoperative recurrence or nasal polyps. Further studies are needed to obtain clear evidence that IgE-SEB can be considered as an independent CRS endotype.
