Risk factors
People with allergies, asthma, and nasal polyps are more likely to develop sinusitis. Many people with asthma also have chronic sinusitis. People with deficient immune systems, such as those with HIV, are more likely to have sinus problems. Also, people with cystic fibrosis or other problems with the movement of mucus are likely to have sinusitis. Living in an area with large amounts of pollen or pollution in the air can also increase the risk in sensitive people.
