Is chronic sinusitis a symptom of lupus?

Sometimes: With lupus, sometimes the immune system does not function properly and one can end up with recurrent sinus infections. There are many more common causes for chronic sinusitis than lupus though, allergies rank first.

No: Chronic sinusitis is not a symptom of lupus. It is ususally not related to any autoimmune disease but it can be a presenting feature in one, that being wegener's granulomatosis.

Chronic sinusitis: Greetings. While sinusitis can be a chronic debilitating disease state as is lupus, they are not classically linked. Lupus is linked to an auto-immune disorder, chronic sinusitis can be linked to a immune deficiency causing the persistent infection. See your doctor for complete evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
