Our data highlights the excessive expression of TLR-2 in nasal polyps contributing to the imbalance in Th17/Tregs population in patients. After therapy, recovery of Tregs cells indicates restoration and tissue homeostasis, though high circulating CD4+CD161+ Th17 cells may continue to be a threat to patients predisposed to future recurrences. The constant exposure and tendency of A. flavus to colonize nasal cavities can lead to a Th17 driven airway inflammation. Dysregulated Th17 with TLR-2 promote resistance to treatment and progression to the chronicity of the disease.
