Diseases called chronic diseases are persistent
in nature whose effects are often long lasting.
When the disease lasts for more than three months
it is said to be chronic. Asthma, Cancer,
Arthritis and diabetes are all examples of such
diseases. These are different from acute diseases
that are short lived. They constituent a cause
majorly in mortality and WHO reports. They lead
to 35 million deaths in the year 2005.In US they

Speaking about Sinusitis being a chronic disease,
it is referred to as rhino sinusitis or sinus
infestation. Being persistent in nature it is
mucus lined inflammation in your skull. Air
filled spaces gets created that often gives pain
when fluids gets trapped. This can further invite
infection.

The various causes due to which sinusitis occur
are viral infection, bacterial infection and
fungal infection. The main reason for it to
emerge is weak immune system. Also allergic
reaction to MOLD is one of the several reasons.
MOLD is nothing but an antigen or fungi.
When a person breathes air contaminated by mold
spores, reactions are caused internally.
Defending the attack by foreign substance, the
body releases proteins through white blood cells.
Caustic acid is present in the proteins which
helps fights against the substance. But while a
person suffers from sinusitis the tissue is
pitted and bacteria are collected in it.

Reaction to this allergy can be caused by genetic
disorders as well. The cause is T cell
abnormality that is the real cause of mold
sensitivity. It is often misdiagnosed by doctors
who treat only mold allergies with immediate
reaction only. This allergy is tested by
antibodies called IGE. It can be controlled by
Zyrtec and Claritin. These constitute only 30 per
cent of the diseased population while the other
70 has delayed reaction to mold allergies. These
are tested by antibodies called IGG. This kind
cannot be handled by antibiotics, decongestants
and steroids. If used they can only provide short
term relief.
