We determined that NMC time was significantly higher in HP-positive patients when compared with HP-negative patients, and the NMC times went back to normal after eradicating the HP infection. Because NMC dysfunction plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), we propose that eradication of HP can have positive effects on the prognosis of CRS. Further studies are needed to establish this relationship.
