The paper presents the problem of etiopathogenesis of nasal polyps, presentation the role of eosinophilic infiltration in nasal polyps genesis as well as description of the current partition of them. The paper also presents the discussion on the role of polyps’ factor creation, which causes the increase of inflammatory cells proliferation – interleukin-5 as well as stimulation of their chemotaxis–eotaxin-2.
