Recovery of smell sense loss by mepolizumab in a patient allergic to dermatophagoides and affected by chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) frequently presents with dysfunction or loss of the
sense of smell, resulting in a signifcant impairment in quality of life. The medical treatments currently available may
improve the olfactory function in patients with CRSwNP, but such an outcome is generally only transitory. We report
the case of a patient with CRSwNP who completely recovered from smell sense loss by treatment with mepolizumab.
