Acute, sub-acute, and chronic sinusitis are the three primary types of sinusitis. Rapid urbanization, pollution, and changing lifestyles are increasing the incidence of respiratory conditions and allergies.

The development of new medical technology and drug manufacturing is leading to new formulations and the advent of biologics that target specific inflammatory pathways. Among conditions that affect the sinuses, acute rhinosinusitis is the most common and globally affected disease, becoming a major health problem worldwide.
