    Navigating the spectrum of food refusal in children with IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated allergies

    Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) is a chronic disease characterized by elevated interleukin 5 (IL-5) levels and is often associated with severe sinonasal symptoms and nasal obstruction. Mepolizumab is a humanized anti-IL-5 antibody approved as an add-on medication for CRSwNP. In the pivotal phase 3 SYNAPSE study, mepolizumab demonstrated improvement in sinonasal outcomes and reduction in corticosteroid use or surgery need in patients with CRSwNP. However, its effect on the number of low-symptom/symptom-free or symptom-reduced days remained unclear.
