AIM: Asthma and sinusitis are frequently associated, but it is controversial whether presence of sinusitis is a risk factor for severity of asthma. In this study we classified the asthma cases according to severity of asthma and investigated frequency of sinusitis with hypothesis that if sinusitis is a worsening factor for asthma, cases with more severe asthma should have more frequent abnormal radiological finding. MATERIAL-METHOD: Ninety three asthma cases including 74 female and 19 male who were referred to Selcuk University, Faculty Medicine, Department of Pulmonary Disease, Allergic Diseases Division were included. RESULTS: Of the cases 63% were atopic and 52% had symptoms of rhinitis. Sinus pathology was detected in 45 (47%) of 93 cases by sinus CT. CONCLUSION: Also it was seen that even in absence of manifest symptoms; radiologically confirmed sinusitis could be found in cases with asthma. The increase in asthma severety was not accompanied by increased frequency of sinusitis.

AMA�: Ast�m ve sin�zit birlikteli�i s�k g�r�len bir durumdur. Ancak sin�zit varl��n�n ast�m i�in a��rla�t�r�c� bir fakt�r olup olmad�� konusu tart��mal�d�r. �al��mam�zda sin�zit ast�m i�in a��rla�t�r�c� bir fakt�r ise; daha �iddetli ast�m� olan ki�ilerde sin�slerde radyolojik anormallik daha s�k olmal�d�r hipotezi ile ast�ml� hastalar� ast�m a��rl�k derecesine g�re s�n�fland�r�larak sin�zit bulunma s�kl�� ara�t�r�ld�. GERE�-Y�NTEM: �al��maya Sel�uk �niversitesi T�p Fak�ltesi G��s Hastal�klar� Anabilim Dal� Allerji Poliklini�ine ba�vuran 74�� kad�n, 19�u erkek 93 ast�ml� hasta al�nd�. BULGULAR: Ast�ml� hastalar %63 oran�nda atopikti ve %52�sinde rinit semptomlar� da vard�. Doksan �� ast�ml� hastan�n 45 (%47) inin sin�s bilgisayarl� tomografisinde sin�s patolojisi g�r�ld�. SONU�: Ast�ml� hastalarda belirgin semptom olmasa da radyolojik olarak sin�zit tespit edilebilece�i g�r�ld�. Ast�m �iddeti artt�k�a sin�zit g�r�lme s�kl�� a��s�ndan bir fark olu�mamaktad�r.
