I did not have an active infection when I had my surgery, but the biopsy report said that I had chronic ethmoid sinusitis. I think that once these cells change they never are normal again until removed, so that
new ones can take their place. After many infections the old cells
lose their cilia that help move the mucus out. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Sinus disease can refer to a variety of sinus ailments. However, it is commonly attributed to the on-going inflammatory process that takes place within the sinus mucosa of chronic sufferers. The etiology is not completely understood and some research is currently being done in hope to find an eventual cure. This is a multi-billion dollar market and pharmaceutical companies stand to benefit greatly from any medical advancements being made. Yes, you can have sinus disease without an active infection.
