ease including Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). Chronic infection due to H. Pylori is one of the suspectedpathophysiology of CRS. Accordingly, this study was planned to determine the role of H. Pylori in CRS andLPR.Materials & Methods: This is a clinical cohort study. In this study a group of 18 patients with CRS iscompared with a group of 18 controls with regards to H. Pylori role in CRS and LPR. PCR, a highly sensitiveand specific diagnostic test is used to detect H.Pylori.Results: H. Pylori was positive only in 2 of 18 CRS patients. This number was 6 for control group. Unexpectedly,there was a reverse correlation between H. Pylori and CRS. Besides, there was no significant relation between positivecases of sinus and gastric samples in each group and between two groups.Conclusions: H. Pylori has no role in CRS and sinus is just a reservoir of H. Pylori without beingafflicted.
