Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a mouse model of chronic eosinophilic rhinosinusitis.Study Design: Mice were sensitized to Aspergillis fumigatus (Af) extract by intraperitoneal injection. The animals subsequently received nasal challenges with Af extract 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Sinonasal complexes were studied histologically by the study otolaryngologists and pathologists to characterize the inflammatory response.Setting: Animal care facility at an academic institution.Results: A chronic eosinophilic inflammatory response was evoked in all study animals. Statistical analysis was performed for inflammation, secretory cell hyperplasia, mast cells, and eosinophils. There were very significant differences (P
