Background: We studied whether the sinuses might be foci for Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection.Methods: Endoscopic Sinus Surgery was performed in 78 CF patients; PFGE was used for bacterial genotyping. Material from sinuses and lungs were Gram-stained to detect biofilms. Immunoglobulins were measured in serum and saliva.Results: When P. aeruginosa was cultured simultaneously from die sinuses and the lungs they were genetically identical in 38 of the 40 patients (95%). In the sinuses, P. aeruginosa formed biofilms with minimal cellular inflammation, probably because of a significantly higher local production of secretory IgA compared with IgG (p
