Nasal mucosa consists of ciliated cells, GOBLET CELLS, brush cells, small granule cells, basal cells (STEM CELLS) and glands containing both mucous and serous cells.Turbinates: The scroll-like bony plates with curved margins on the lateral wall of the NASAL CAVITY. Turbinates, also called nasal concha, increase the surface area of nasal cavity thus providing a mechanism for rapid warming and humidification of air as it passes to the lung.Respiratory Tract Infections: Invasion of the host RESPIRATORY SYSTEM by microorganisms, usually leading to pathological processes or diseases.Exophthalmos: Abnormal protrusion of both eyes; may be caused by endocrine gland malfunction, malignancy, injury, or paralysis of the extrinsic muscles of the eye.Mucocele: A retention cyst of the salivary gland, lacrimal sac, paranasal sinuses, appendix, or gallbladder. (Stedman, 26th ed)Mucormycosis: Infection in humans and animals caused by any fungus in the order Mucorales (e.g., Absidia, Mucor, Rhizopus etc.) There are many clinical types associated with infection of the central nervous system, lung, gastrointestinal tract, skin, orbit and paranasal sinuses. In humans, it usually occurs as an opportunistic infection in patients with a chronic debilitating disease, particularly uncontrolled diabetes, or who are receiving immunosuppressive agents. (From Dorland, 28th ed)Sphenoid Sinus: One of the paired air spaces located in the body of the SPHENOID BONE behind the ETHMOID BONE in the middle of the skull.

(Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed)Ciliary Motility Disorders: Conditions caused by abnormal CILIA movement in the body, usually causing KARTAGENER SYNDROME, chronic respiratory disorders, chronic SINUSITIS, and chronic OTITIS. Abnormal ciliary beating is likely due to defects in any of the 200 plus ciliary proteins, such as missing motor enzyme DYNEIN arms.Oroantral Fistula: A fistula between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity.Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis: Formation or presence of a blood clot (THROMBUS) in the CAVERNOUS SINUS of the brain. Infections of the paranasal sinuses and adjacent structures, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, and THROMBOPHILIA are associated conditions. Clinical manifestations include dysfunction of cranial nerves III, IV, V, and VI, marked periorbital swelling, chemosis, fever, and visual loss.

Organisms in this genus had originally been classified as members of the BACTEROIDES genus but overwhelming biochemical and chemical findings indicated the need to separate them from other Bacteroides species, and hence, this new genus was created.Ethmoid Bone: A light and spongy (pneumatized) bone that lies between the orbital part of FRONTAL BONE and the anterior of SPHENOID BONE. Ethmoid bone separates the ORBIT from the ETHMOID SINUS. It consists of a horizontal plate, a perpendicular plate, and two lateral labyrinths.Rhinitis, Allergic, Perennial: Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose similar to that found in hay fever except that symptoms persist throughout the year. The causes are usually air-borne allergens, particularly dusts, feathers, molds, animal fur, etc.Nasal Decongestants: Drugs designed to treat inflammation of the nasal passages, generally the result of an infection (more often than not the common cold) or an allergy related condition, e.g., hay fever. The inflammation involves swelling of the mucous membrane that lines the nasal passages and results in inordinate mucus production. The primary class of nasal decongestants are vasoconstrictor agents. (From PharmAssist, The Family Guide to Health and Medicine, 1993)Schizophyllum: A genus of fleshy shelf basidiomycetous fungi, family Schizophyllaceae, order POLYPORALES, growing on woody substrata. It is pathogenic in humans.Otitis Media: Inflammation of the MIDDLE EAR including the AUDITORY OSSICLES and the EUSTACHIAN TUBE.Brain Abscess: A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE); HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG. Penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA and NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES may also be associated with this condition. Clinical manifestations include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; focal neurologic deficits; and alterations of consciousness. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp712-6)Epidural Abscess: Circumscribed collections of suppurative material occurring in the spinal or intracranial EPIDURAL SPACE. The majority of epidural abscesses occur in the spinal canal and are associated with OSTEOMYELITIS of a vertebral body; ANALGESIA, EPIDURAL; and other conditions. Clinical manifestations include local and radicular pain, weakness, sensory loss, URINARY INCONTINENCE, and FECAL INCONTINENCE. Cranial epidural abscesses are usually associated with OSTEOMYELITIS of a cranial bone, SINUSITIS, or OTITIS MEDIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p710 and pp1240-1; J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 1998 Aug;65(2):209-12)Trichosporonosis: Fungal infections caused by TRICHOSPORON that may become systemic especially in an IMMUNOCOMPROMISED HOST. Clinical manifestations range from superficial cutaneous infections to systemic lesions in multiple organs.Stomatognathic Diseases: General or unspecified diseases of the stomatognathic system, comprising the mouth, teeth, jaws, and pharynx.Empyema, Subdural: An intracranial or rarely intraspinal suppurative process invading the space between the inner surface of the DURA MATER and the outer surface of the ARACHNOID.Common Cold: A catarrhal disorder of the upper respiratory tract, which may be viral or a mixed infection. It generally involves a runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing.Paranasal Sinus Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the PARANASAL SINUSES.Tonsillitis: Inflammation of the tonsils, especially the PALATINE TONSILS but the ADENOIDS (pharyngeal tonsils) and lingual tonsils may also be involved. Tonsillitis usually is caused by bacterial infection. Tonsillitis may be acute, chronic, or recurrent.Bacteria, AnaerobicRhizopus: A genus of zygomycetous fungi of the family Mucoraceae, order MUCORALES, a common saprophyte and facultative parasite of mature fruits and vegetables. It may cause cerebral mycoses in diabetes and cutaneous infection in severely burned patients.Nasal Obstruction: Any hindrance to the passage of air into and out of the nose. The obstruction may be unilateral or bilateral, and may involve any part of the NASAL CAVITY.Kartagener Syndrome: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a triad of DEXTROCARDIA; INFERTILITY; and SINUSITIS. The syndrome is caused by mutations of DYNEIN genes encoding motility proteins which are components of sperm tails, and CILIA in the respiratory and the reproductive tracts.Nasal Septum: The partition separating the two NASAL CAVITIES in the midplane. It is formed by the SEPTAL NASAL CARTILAGE, parts of skull bones (ETHMOID BONE; VOMER), and membranous parts.Cefuroxime: Broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic resistant to beta-lactamase. It has been proposed for infections with gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, GONORRHEA, and HAEMOPHILUS.Cyclacillin: A cyclohexylamido analog of PENICILLANIC ACID.Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis: Gram-negative aerobic cocci of low virulence that colonize the nasopharynx and occasionally cause MENINGITIS; BACTEREMIA; EMPYEMA; PERICARDITIS; and PNEUMONIA.Amoxicillin: A broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic similar to AMPICILLIN except that its resistance to gastric acid permits higher serum levels with oral administration.Intubation, Gastrointestinal: The insertion of a tube into the stomach, intestines, or other portion of the gastrointestinal tract to allow for the passage of food products, etc.

Comparative in vitro activities of amoxicillin-clavulanate against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from antral puncture specimens from patients with sinusitis. (1/679)

By an agar dilution method, the antimicrobial susceptibilities of antral sinus puncture isolates were studied. Pneumococci were generally susceptible to amoxicillin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin, but 17% of pneumococcal isolates were resistant to cefuroxime. Haemophilus influenzae isolates were resistant to amoxicillin and clarithromycin. beta-Lactamase production occurred in 69% of Prevotella species. One-third of Peptostreptococcus magnus isolates were resistant to azithromycin and clarithromycin. Cefuroxime had limited activity against Prevotella species and P. magnus. Levofloxacin was active against most isolates except peptostreptococci. Amoxicillin-clavulanate was active against all isolates, with the MIC at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited being < or = 1 microgram/ml.  (+info)

Nasal nitric oxide concentration in paranasal sinus inflammatory diseases. (2/679)

In normal upper airways, nitric oxide is generated by the paranasal sinus epithelium and then diffuses into the nasal cavities. This study examined whether or not nasal NO concentration is affected by paranasal sinus inflammatory diseases. The influence of obstruction (nasal polyposis) and/or inflammation (allergy or chronic sinusitis) of the paranasal sinuses on nasal NO concentration was evaluated in nasal allergic (n=7 patients) or nonallergic (n=20) polyposis, nonallergic chronic sinusitis (n=10) and Kartagener's syndrome (n=6) and compared with control subjects (n=42). A score of alteration of the paranasal sinus (number of altered and occluded sinuses) was determined by a computed tomography scan. The nasal NO concentration in nasal nonallergic polyposis (150+/-20 parts per billion (ppb)) was significantly decreased compared with both controls (223+/-6 ppb, p=0.01) and polyposis with allergy (272+/-28 ppb, p<0.0001). In each group, the nasal NO concentration was inversely correlated with the extent of tomodensitometric alteration of the paranasal sinuses. In Kartagener's syndrome, the nasal NO concentration (14+/-2 ppb) was drastically decreased compared with all other groups, despite the presence of open paranasal sinuses. Thus, the nasal NO concentration in patients with nasal polyposis appeared to be dependent on both the allergic status and the degree of obstruction of the paranasal sinuses.  (+info)

IL-12 receptor beta2 and CD30 expression in paranasal sinus mucosa of patients with chronic sinusitis. (3/679)

The aetiology of chronic sinusitis is still poorly understood. The expression of T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 2 (Th2) cell markers, interleukin (IL)-12 receptor beta2 subunit (IL-12Rbeta2) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and CD30, respectively, were investigated in the paranasal sinus mucosa of patients with chronic sinusitis in an attempt to elucidate the involvement of Th1 and Th2 cells in this disease. Anterior ethmoidal mucosae were surgically obtained from two groups of patients with chronic sinusitis: those who had allergic rhinitis (allergic group, n=11) and those without allergy (nonallergic group, n=11). IL-12Rbeta2 mRNA was quantified by means of the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and CD30-positive cells were examined immunohistochemically. Both IL-12Rbeta2 mRNA and CD30 were expressed in the sinus mucosa of the allergic and nonallergic groups. The proportion of mononuclear cells which were CD30-positive in the sinus mucosa was significantly greater in the allergic than in the nonallergic group. The expression levels of IL-12Rbeta2 mRNA were virtually equivalent in both groups. These results suggest a T-helper 2-dominated mucosal reaction in the allergic compared to the nonallergic group, and indicate T-helper 1 activity in the sinus mucosa of both groups. The ubiquity of T-helper 1 cells suggests that they play a role in maintaining local mucosal defences against foreign antigens, which continually enter the upper respiratory tract.  (+info)

A possible mechanism of primary ciliary dyskinesia: a case of a segmental defect in ciliary microtubules. (4/679)

We report here a 13-year-old woman with cough, sputum and fever. The patient had both chronic sinusitis and bronchitis. Chest X-ray and computed tomographic scan of the chest revealed mucous bronchial filling and bronchiectasia in bronchi of bilateral lower lobes, right middle lobe and left upper lobe. Aerosol inhalation scintigraphy with 99mTechnetium demonstrated delays of the discharged tracer. On the basis of these findings, primary ciliary dyskinesia was suggested. This was confirmed by the findings from nasal biopsy with transmission electron microscopy where all of the microtubules were segmentally defected near the basal body in the cilia. On the basis of these findings, we diagnosed the patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia which may be due, at least in part, to segmental defect of ciliary microtubules.  (+info)

A locus for primary ciliary dyskinesia maps to chromosome 19q. (5/679)

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is an autosomal recessive condition characterised by chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and subfertility. Situs inversus occurs in 50% of cases (Kartagener syndrome). It has an estimated incidence of 1 in 20 000 live births. The clinical phenotype is caused by defective ciliary function associated with a range of ultrastructural abnormalities including absent dynein arms, absent radial spokes, and disturbed ciliary orientation. The molecular genetic basis is unknown. A genome scan was performed in five Arabic families. Using GENEHUNTER, a maximal multipoint lod score (HLOD) of 4.4 was obtained on chromosome 19q13.3-qter at alpha (proportion of linked families) = 0.7. A 15 cM critical region is defined by recombinations at D19S572 and D19S218. These data provide significant evidence for a PCD locus on chromosome 19q and confirm locus heterogeneity.  (+info)

Invasive aspergillosis in a patient with MELAS syndrome. (6/679)

Invasive infection with the opportunistic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus predominantly affects people with impaired cell mediated immunity. The case of a 31 year old woman with no identified cause for immunosuppression who presented with severe refractory aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is reported. She subsequently developed clinical and molecular evidence of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like events (MELAS) syndrome. It is proposed that MELAS syndrome may represent an unusual risk factor for the development of invasive aspergillosis and mechanisms are supported by which mitochondrial dysfunction may predispose to this.  (+info)

The role of cytokines in rhinosinusitis. (7/679)

Since the last decade, new insights into inflammatory processes have become possible by investigating the pattern of cytokines in acute and chronic sinus diseases. This review aims to update and discuss the findings of in vitro and in vivo studies concerning the role of cytokines in sinusitis and nasal polyposis. The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta, interleukin-6 and the neutrophil-chemoattractant interleukin-8 may play a major role in acute sinusitis, as shown in viral and allergic rhinitis. In chronic sinusitis interleukin-3 dominates the cytokine profiles, giving support to a variety of inflammatory cells. Interleukin-5 is a key protein in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis. Activation and survival of eosinophils in nasal polyps are thought to be regulated by interleukin-5. Further investigation of cytokine expression patterns in inflammatory sinus diseases will lead to a better understanding of their pathogenesis and to a development of new therapeutic modality.  (+info)

Report of successful prolonged antifungal therapy for refractory allergic fungal sinusitis. (8/679)

Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is an increasingly recognized cause of refractory chronic sinusitis in the young immunocompetent host, analogous to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a related process in the lower respiratory tract. Most patients experience remittent disease despite corticosteroid therapy and aggressive sinus surgery. Because controlled trials have shown adjunctive antifungal therapy to be of benefit in treating ABPA, long-term oral itraconazole was used in a young man with remittent AFS, which was able to break the cycle of relapsing disease.  (+info)

Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis in Adults: Part I. Evaluation - American Family PhysicianAcute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis in Adults: Part I. Evaluation - American Family Physician
Acute rhinosinusitis is one of the most common conditions that physicians treat in ambulatory practice. Although often caused by viruses, it sometimes is caused by bacteria, a condition that is called acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. The signs and symptoms of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis and prolonged viral upper respiratory infection are similar, which makes accurate clinical diagnosis difficult. Because two thirds of patients with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis improve without antibiotic treatment and most patients with viral upper respiratory infection improve within seven d antibiotic therapy should be reserved for use in patients who have had symptoms for more than seven days and meet clinical criteria. Four signs and symptoms are the most helpful in predicting acute bacterial rhinosinusitis: purulent nasal discharge, maxillary tooth or facial pain (especially unilateral), unilateral maxillary sinus tenderness, and worsening symptoms after initial improvement. Sinus radiography and ultrasonography
Rocklin Unified School District - Sinus Infection (Sinusitis)Rocklin Unified School District - Sinus Infection (Sinusitis)
Sinusitis, or a sinus infection, occurs when the sinuses and nasal passages become inflamed. If you or your child is diagnosed with sinusitis, the infection does not need to be treated with antibiotics unless you or your child has acute bacterial sinusitis, which is caused by bacteria. Acute bacterial sinusitis can last up to 4 weeks and subacute bacterial sinusitis can last 4 to 12 weeks, occurring less than 4 times per year.. Acute viral sinusitis, caused by a virus, typically lasts for less than 4 weeks and occurs less than 3 times per year. Acute viral sinusitis usually occurs after having an upper respiratory infection.. Chronic sinusitis typically lasts more than 4 weeks and occurs more than 4 times per year. If you are diagnosed with chronic sinusitis, you should visit a specialist for evaluation. Chronic sinusitis can be caused by nasal polyps or tumors, allergies, or respiratory tract infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal), among other reasons.. ...
Sinusitis Bacterial - Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms - Watch Out For Chronic Sinus Infection SymptomsSinusitis Bacterial - Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms - Watch Out For Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms
Treatment for chronic sinus infection symptoms Antibiotics and over-the-counter decongestants are widely used fro treating chronic sinus infection symptoms. Antibiotics may not be effective in chronic sinusitis because they target bacteria, not fungi. The antibiotic treatment usually takes 3 - 4 weeks. The over-the-counter medications may offer some relief from pain, but they do not have any effect on the inflammation. Clean and drain sinuses works in some cases. Oral pills may provide relief from stuffy nose and some nasal sprays can help in relieving chronic sinus infection symptoms caused by allergies. Patients of chronic sinus infection symptoms can find relief through Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS). This is a noninvasive outpatient procedure. The study results suggest that ESS helps to reduce dependence on antibiotics and antihistamines for managing the symptoms. Deviated septum and nasal obstruction may be repaired surgically to prevent chronic sinus infection symptoms ...

The purpose of this key action statement is to guide the selection of antimicrobial therapy once the diagnosis of acute bacterial sinusitis has been made. The microbiology of acute bacterial sinusitis was determined nearly 30 years ago through direct maxillary sinus aspiration in children with compatible signs and symptoms. The major bacterial pathogens recovered at that time were Streptococcus pneumoniae in approximately 30% of children and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in approximately 20% each.16,40 Aspirates from the remaining 25% to 30% of children were sterile.. Maxillary sinus aspiration is rarely performed at the present time unless the course of the infection is unusually prolonged or severe. Although some authorities have recommended obtaining cultures from the middle meatus to determine the cause of a maxillary sinus infection, there are no data in children with acute bacterial sinusitis that have compared such cultures with cultures of a maxillary sinus ...

Although having acute sinusitis always causes discomfort, the condition usually does not take long for it to clear up. It is believed that the body immune system is strong enough to fight the infection on its own and only requires a few days for it to clear this condition. However, if the infection takes longer for it to come to an end, seeking a doctors advice is always the best option. During diagnosis, the doctor is usually able to distinguish between the various causes of acute sinusitis by mixing the patients rhinosinusitis (watery fluids that usually drains out of the nose when one has acute sinusitis) with a Gram stain. For viral acute sinusitis, the bacteria present in the nasal fluid are often seen in association with several clusters of epithelial cells while in bacterial acute sinusitis, the bacteria will be seen admixed with polymophonuclear leocucytes. After determining this, the doctor will be in a better position to prescribe a proper course of treatment that could end this ...

Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS), a subgroup of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, is recognized as a refractory eosinophilic disorder characterized by both upper and lower airway inflammation. In some severe cases, disease control is poor, likely due to local steroid insensitivity. In this study, we focused on protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a key factor regulating glucocorticoid receptor (GR) nuclear translocation, and examined its association with local responses to corticosteroids in eosinophilic airway inflammation. Our results indicated reduced responses to corticosteroids in nasal epithelial cells from ECRS patients with asthma, which were also associated with decreased PP2A mRNA expression. Eosinophil peroxidase stimulates elevated PP2A phosphorylation levels, reducing PP2A protein expression and activity. In addition, mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators (TSLP, IL-25, IL-33, CCL4, CCL5, CCL11, and CCL26) associated with eosinophilic airway inflammation in epithelial cells were

This study aims to investigate the expression of MUC8 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein and to compare between normal and chronically inflamed sinus mucosae in terms of the expression of MUC8 mRNA. Ten patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who were undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery were recruited for the study. Ten patients with no evidence of sinus disease were used as control subjects. RNAs were extracted from sinus mucosa, and semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed for MUC8. Localization of MUC8 protein was sought by immunohistochemical analysis. Messenger RNA encoding MUC8 was detected in human sinus mucosa. The level of MUC8 ...
Systemic and topical antibiotics for chronic rhinosinusitis | CochraneSystemic and topical antibiotics for chronic rhinosinusitis | Cochrane
Review question We reviewed the evidence for the benefits and harms of systemic (given by mouth) or topical (given by nose) antibiotics for people with chronic rhinosinusitis.. Background Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common condition that is defined as inflammation of the nose and paranasal sinuses (a group of air-filled spaces behind the nose, eyes and cheeks). Patients experience at least two or more of the following symptoms for at least 12 weeks: blocked nose, discharge from their nose or runny nose, pain or pressure in their face and/or a reduced sense of smell (hyposmia). Some people will also have nasal polyps, which are grape-like swellings of the normal nasal lining inside the nasal passage and sinuses.. Study characteristics We included five randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 293 participants. The studies were small (43 to 79 participants). Four recruited adults and the fifth children. Three studies only included people with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps, ...

Acute Sinusitis | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of PhysiciansAcute Sinusitis | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of Physicians
Acute sinusitis affects millions of persons in the United States every year and is among the most common reasons for physician visits, prompting over 3 million visits annually (1). The more accurate term for this condition is acute rhinosinusitis, because symptoms involve both the nasal cavity and the sinuses. For simplicity, this review uses the term "sinusitis" for rhinosinusitis. There are 4 pairs of air-filled paranasal sinuses: the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses. Acute sinusitis typically occurs in the maxillary sinuses (Figure). Sinusitis is characterized as acute when the duration of symptoms is shorter than 4 weeks, subacute when the duration is from 4 weeks to 12 weeks, and chronic when the duration is more than 12 weeks. Sinusitis seems to be due to congestion and blockage of the nasal passages, usually in response to viral infection or allergic rhinitis but occasionally to other stimuli. The paranasal sinuses become inflamed, and mucus cannot drain properly, ...

Sinusitis | University of Maryland Medical CenterSinusitis | University of Maryland Medical Center
Sinusitis. Sinusitis is an inflammation or infection of the sinuses, the air-filled chambers in the skull that are located around the nose. Symptoms of sinusitis include thick nasal discharge, facial pain or pressure, fever, and reduced sense of smell. Depending on how long these symptoms last, sinusitis is classified as acute, subacute, chronic, or recurrent. Viruses are the most common cause of acute sinusitis, but bacteria are responsible for most of the serious cases.. Non-Drug Treatment of Sinusitis. Home remedies such as saline (salt) washes or sprays are helpful for removing mucus and relieving congestion. Steam inhalation is also beneficial. Patients with sinusitis should drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Water, which helps lubricate the mucous membranes, is the best fluid to drink.. Drug Treatment of Sinusitis. Medication depends on the type of sinusitis and its cause. Non-prescription pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can help mild-to-moderate pain symptoms. ...

Acute sinusitis can show up with either persistent (the most common form) or severe symptoms. Patients with persistent symptoms of acute sinusitis are differentiated from patients with simple colds solely on the basis of the duration of the symptoms. A simple cold usually lasts 5 to 7 days, and, even if symptoms linger, there should be improvement by 10 days. Cold symptoms that show no improvement after 10 days may be acute bacterial sinusitis.. The symptoms of cold viruses are indistinguishable from acute bacterial sinusitis. They usually include either nasal discharge (thin or thick; white, yellow, or green) or a cough (dry or wet) during both the day and the night. Some children also have bad breath, and/or swelling and darkening around the eyes. Complaints of a headache and facial pain are unusual until adolescence..

Chronic sinusitis and GERD or extraesophageal reflux disease - acid refluxChronic sinusitis and GERD or extraesophageal reflux disease - acid reflux
Chronic sinusitis and GERD. chronic sinusitis is a common clinical condition. There is increasing evidence from observational studies that both paediatric and adult patients with chronic sinusitis frequently have associated GORD and EOR and that these patients may benefit from medical antireflux therapy. GORD and EOR may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic sinusitis by causing sinonasal congestion, compromised sinus drainage, and inflammation.29 Otitis media Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a prevalent condition and the most common cause of hearing loss in childhood. Recently, Tasker et al reported high concentrations (up to a 1000-fold greater than serum levels) of pepsin/pepsinogen in 59 of 65 middle ear effusion samples from children with OME. The authors concluded that reflux of gastric juice into the middle ear may be the primary factor in the initiation of OME in children. Using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and 24 hour pH monitoring, we prospectively assessed the coexistence ...

Take a look at these simple guidelines to help you differentiate a sinusitis from a common cold: 1. Duration of the condition Monitoring how long a common cold lasts is the most perceptible way to differentiate it from a sinusitis. The duration of a common cold actually varies but it usually lasts for not more than 10 days. On the other hand, a sinus infection lasts for approximately 10 to 14 days or more. Specifically, the symptoms of an acute sinusitis last for less than 4 weeks while those of a chronic sinusitis last for more than 8 weeks. In case the sinusitis recurs for about 3 or more acute episodes in a year, it is also classified as chronic ...

Health Sinusitis - Sinus Infection and Dizziness SymptomsHealth Sinusitis - Sinus Infection and Dizziness Symptoms
To better understand why a sinus infection can take place, one must know what are the causes. Sinuses are the small, empty holes in your bony skull. These caverns are lined by mucus and make the connection to the nasal passages. Some people have them even at birth, whereas other grow in time, in the first twenty years of your life. Those small holes are affected by sinus infection. Sinusitis is the term that is given to a sinus infection. When those sinuses are infected, the sinuses are swollen, red and very tender. Mucus is also a characteristic of a sinus infection. If you take things technical, any cold can also be a case of a sinus infection, cause by a virus. However, when doctors diagnose you with a sinus infection like sinusitis they actually refer to an infection caused by a bacteria. There are three types of sinus infection that are caused by a bacteria. Acute, subacute and chronic sinus infection caused by a bacteria are the three types of sinus infection that have different causes and ...

What are sinus infection symptoms? Most of the times sinus infection symptoms start with a blocked nose or runny nose, flu, cough, headache, sore throat, pain around the nasal area, loss of taste or smell etc. Usual symptoms also include swelling around the nose and blockage of the nasal channels. Pain in the cheek or face, greenish discharge can also be found in some cases. Normally sinus infection symptoms will go away within three weeks. If it persists longer, it is acute sinusitis. When this continues for more than three months, it is known as chronic sinusitis. Sinus infections are caused mostly by viruses, bacteria and fungus. Environmental pollution, allergens cause non-infectious sinusitis. Severe headache and painful red eyes and sometimes with double vision are known sinus infection symptoms. In acute case temporary vision loss is also possible. Fatigue, fever and loss of smell or taste are found in many other cases if the infection is caused by bacteria. Bacterial infections are cured ...
Comparison of Olfactory Function before and After Endoscopic Sinus SurgeryComparison of Olfactory Function before and After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Introduction: Olfactory loss in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis has been measured by different methods. However, the results have been variable, and it is not clear whether endoscopic sinus surgery significantly improves olfactory function. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of endoscopic sinus surgery on olfactory function in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Materials and Methods: In this prospective analytic study, 73 patients (mean age, 39.63Ā±12.94 years) with a diagnosis of polyps and sinusitis during 2011 were studied. The olfaction test was performed with three solutions; one with no odor (water) and two with phenylethyl alcohol (50% and 90% dilution, respectively). The patients olfaction state were graded as no olfaction, or low, moderate or good olfaction before and 1 and 3 months after surgery, and was given scores between 0 and 3 and evaluated quantitatively. Results: Right-side olfaction was improved in 68.5% and left side in 67.1% of patients. Mean olfaction

When treating sinus infections (sinusitis) caused by bacteria, the traditional duration of therapy is between 10 and 14 days. In this randomized, double-blind study, 5 days of 750 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily will be compared to 10 days of 500 milligrams of levofloxacin in the treatment of non-hospitalized adult patients who have acute bacterial sinusitis. To prevent the study doctor, study staff and patients from knowing which study drug they are taking, all study drug will manufactured to look the same and patients on the 5-day regimen will be given placebo for the last 5 days of their participation in the study. Patients will have a sinus specimen collected at the first visit. Safety evaluations will be conducted. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that, in the treatment of acute bacterial sinus infections, a 5-day course of 750 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily is at least as effective as a 10-day course of 500 milligrams of levofloxacin given once daily ...
SinusitisSinusitis
The term "sinusitis" has now been officially replaced by "rhinosinusitis" in the Otolaryngology literature. Rhinosinusitis is divided into two main categories: acute (sinus infection lasting less than four weeks) and chronic (sinus infection lasting greater than twelve weeks). Sub-acute rhinosinusitis refers to a sinus infection lasting between four and twelve weeks.. Rhinosinusitis usually begins after obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways secondary to a viral URTI, or some other cause, resulting in stagnation of secretions within the sinus. Bacteria from the nasal cavity invade the mucus filled sinuses if the obstruction does not resolve within a few days. If the infection does not resolve within a few weeks, the mucus membrane will undergo polypoid change causing further obstruction. The flora will gradually change from one of acute sinusitis (S. pneumo, H.influenzae and Moraxella) to one of chronic sinusitis (anaerobes, gram negative enterococci). Once the infection has lasted greater ...

In ARS, it is common to find high IL-8 (which is the neutrophils main chemotactic agent), TNF-alpha and total protein levels. Neutrophil and T lymphocyte levels are also usually increased (both in the epithelium and in the lamina propria). There is more information available on the existence of inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyposis. Among other findings, there is one that is particularly interesting: the persistence of high eosinophil levels. Numerous inflammation mediators have been found in the sinonasal mucosa of subjects with CRS and nasal polyposis which may play an important role and may be caused both by specific substances and by other non-specific factors (cold, pollution,ā€¦). Glandular secretion is an important component of inflammation, manifesting as rhinorrhoea, and is regulated not only by inflammatory regulators but also by the epithelial and inflammatory cells themselves and by classic neurotransmitters. A landmark study performed by Roca Ferrer et ...
Chronic SinusitisChronic Sinusitis
Patients who are found to have a chronic sinus issue may or may not be advised to try a surgical treatment soon after their consultation. Two of the most common sinus procedures that we offer for chronic sinusitis at our Seattle area practice are balloon sinuplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.. A balloon sinuplasty may be the first intervention our ear, nose and throat doctors suggest since it does not involve any incisions or cutting of the nasal bones. During a balloon sinuplasty, Dr. Ummat uses a flexible balloon catheter to open up the nasal passages and sinuses in order to relieve the symptoms of chronic sinusitis. The balloon is inserted into the nasal passages while deflated and is then slowly inflated to allow mucus buildup to drain out of the sinuses. The system is flushed with saline to remove buildup and provide relief. While the results of this procedure may not be permanent, many patients experience long-term relief with little to no downtime.. Other patients may need surgery to ...
The One Probiotic That Treats Sinusitis - Lacto BactoThe One Probiotic That Treats Sinusitis - Lacto Bacto
UPDATED October 2018) Probiotics and sinusitis treatment go hand in hand. In the last few years researchers found that one probiotic (beneficial bacteria) that chronic sinusitis sufferers lack and that treats and cures sinusitis is Lactobacillus sakei. And for many, major improvement may take only days!. The researchers Abreu et al found in their 2012 study that not only do sinusitis sufferers lack L. sakei, they have too much of some other bacteria, and they also dont have the bacteria diversity in their sinuses that healthy people without sinusitis have. In other words, the sinus microbiome (microbial community) is out of whack (dysbiosis). A number of studies since then also found that there is a depletion of some bacterial species, and an increase in "abundance" of other species in those with chronic sinusitis..

When patients with sinusitis do not improve or continue to relapse after repeated courses of antibiotics and reasonable trials of the other medications used to treat sinusitis, FESS is often very beneficial. We may also recommend FESS based on your physical examination, nasal endoscopy and CT scan findings. At the Dallas Sinus Center, the decision to perform surgery is made only after carefully considering the risks and benefits to the patient.. Patient preferences also play a role in the decision. The decision to have sinus surgery is usually made by the patient when the impact of their sinus problems on their quality of life is so significant that a successful surgery can improve their ability to function in daily life.. In some cases we may recommend FESS that includes "surgical navigation" - usually with a special type of CT or MRI scanner - in order to diminish the chance of complications and improve results.

The aim of this case report was to report the course of treatment for the advanced paranasal sinus infection triggered by peri-implantitis, managed using functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), with outcomes. A non-smoking male patient received sinus augmentation with implant placement on his left posterior maxilla 15 years ago. Possibly due to non-compliance to maintenance, peri-implantitis developed and progressed into the augmented bone area in the maxilla. Eventually, maxillary sinusitis occurred concomitantly with a spread of the infection to the other paranasal sinuses. Implant removal and intraoral debridement of inflammatory tissue were performed, but there was no resolution. Subsequently, FESS was performed, with removal of nasal polyp and sequestrum. After FESS, the sinusitis resolved. Histologically, the sequestrum was composed of bone substitute particles, necrotic bone, stromal fibrosis, and very limited cellular component. Two implants were placed on the present site, and no ...

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous chronic disease characterized by local inflammation of the sinonasal tissues. The pathogenesis of CRS remains controversial, but it has been associated with the accumulation of various immune and inflammatory cells in sinus tissue. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of the chemokine CCL23, which is known to bind to CCR1 and recruit monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, in patients with CRS. METHODS We collected nasal tissue from patients with CRS and control subjects. We assayed mRNA for CCL23 by using real-time PCR and measured CCL23 protein by means of ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. RESULTS CCL23 mRNA levels were significantly increased in nasal polyps (NPs) from patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP; P | .05) compared with inferior turbinate and uncinate tissue from patients with CRS or control subjects. CCL23 protein levels were also increased in NPs, although

This study was performed to determine whether there was any association between abnormal DNA methylation of a thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) locus and pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). A total of 48 CRS patients with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), 28 CRS patients without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and 21 control subjects were enrolled into the study; and evaluated for serum total IgE level, olfactory score and nasal resistance. Samples were obtained from nasal polyps of CRSwNP patients, ethmoid mucosae of CRSsNP patients and inferior turbinate (IT) mucosa of control subjects during surgery, and used to isolate purified primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs). Genomic DNA was extracted from purified primary HNECs of each subject and DNA methylation ratios for a selected region of the TSLP gene were screened the using MassARRAY EpiTYPER. A total of 17 CpG units were analyzed; of which two CpG units (CpG3 and 22:23:24) had increased methylation ratios in the CRSwNP patients compared to the CRSsNP

AU - Lee, Heung Man. PY - 2004/6/1. Y1 - 2004/6/1. N2 - Backgrounds: Excess mucus production and hypersecretion characterize upper airway diseases. The primary mechanisms leading to mucus hypersecretion in chronic rhinosinus inflammation are not well understood. Mucus hypersecretion is commonly accompanied by goblet cell and submucosal gland cell hyperplasia. It is important to identify which mucin gene messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are expressed in the sinus mucosa. Objectives: To investigate the expression of MUC5AC and MUC5B mRNAs and localization of these proteins in human sinus mucosa and to compare the expression of MUC5AC and MUC5B mRNAs in normal and in chronic sinus mucosa. Design: Twenty chronic maxillary sinusitis mucosa samples and 20 normal maxillary sinus mucosa samples were obtained; RNAs were ...

Background: Sinusitis is a common medical problem, especially in children. Diagnosis of sinusitis in children is usually based on clinical symptoms and clinicians usually tend to avoid X- ray study especially less than 6 years of age. Nowadays, the gold- standard for the diagnosis of sinusitis is CT scan but other modalities including plain X-ray and MRI are also useful. In the literature, there are few studies about the use of ultrasound for diagnosis of sinusitis as a safe, inexpensive and radiation-free method but most of these studies are limited to adults.Objectives: Therefore this study has been designed to show the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosis and follow up of sinusitis in the pediatric age group.Patients and Methods: All children in the age range of 2-14 years who were clinically suspected for sinusitis and referred to Tabriz childrens hospital for CT scan were enrolled in this study and maxillary sinus sonography was performed for all of them before CT. Revonta method was used and

The risks of endoscopic sinus surgery will be discussed at the pre-operative visit, and should be completely understood by the patient prior to surgery.. BLEEDING: With any surgery excessive bleeding is a risk. Bleeding is usually minor during endoscopic sinus surgery. Occasionally, heavy bleeding is encountered, and this may impair the surgeons ability to safely continue the operation. If significant bleeding occurs during the procedure, then the procedure is terminated and the nasal/sinus area is packed. On occasion further intervention such as additional surgery or procedures might be needed to manage the bleeding. Also reported in our ENT literature, and fortunately extraordinarily rare, during sphenoid sinus surgery carotid artery injury could lead to stroke and life threatening bleeding.. FAILURE TO CURE THE PROBLEM OR RECURRENT DISEASE: As in all sinus surgery, it is possible that the disease may not be cured by your operation and that recurrent disease or excessive or abnormal scarring ...

Otolaryngology - Choosing Wisely CanadaOtolaryngology - Choosing Wisely Canada
The prevalence of a bacterial infection during acute rhinosinusitis is estimated to be 2%-10%, whereas viral causes account for 90%-98%. Management of viral rhinosinusitis is primarily focused on symptomatic relief, which may include use of intranasal corticosteroids, analgesics, nasal saline rinses, oral or topical decongestants, and mucolytics. Antibiotics are ineffective for viral illness and do not provide direct symptom relief. Despite this, 82% of Canadian patients diagnosed with acute sinusitis received a prescription for antibiotics. Differentiating viral rhinosinusitis from acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) is challenging because the symptoms are overlapping, but is critical to avoid inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions.. The "PODS" clinical criteria suggest ABRS with two or more of facial Pain/pressure/fullness, nasal Obstruction, nasal purulence/discoloured postnasal Discharge, decreased/absent Smell that persist for more than 7-10 days (Canadian Clinical Practice Guidelines for ...

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive operation designed to improve the functioning of the nose. It is performed through an endoscope, which is a small camera and light that allows your surgeon to see easily inside the nose. FESS is done on the sinuses, which are small bony channels and openings that extend from the inside of the nose to the forehead, cheeks, and between the eyes. This is why this operation is called functional endoscopic sinus surgery or "FESS" for short. More detailed information on FESS can be found here Candidates are evaluated based upon their history, a physical exam, and CT scan.

Hypoplastic Frontal Sinuses - Signs Of Sinus InfectionHypoplastic Frontal Sinuses - Signs Of Sinus Infection
Acute sinusitis lasts less than six to eight weeks or occurs less than four times a year. This kind of sinusitis is often preceded by a cold. Once your symptoms last longer than ten to fourteen days, you may already be developing an acute sinus infection, especially if you are feeling facial pain or headache already. During the early stages of acute sinusitis, there is nasal blockage and congestion, excessive mucus in the nose and throat and sneezing. Some may feel malaise and fatigue and fever. Mucus may become thicker and discolored. Throat discomfort and occasional hoarseness may also be experienced due to postnasal drip. Coughing from the postnasal drainage worsen in the morning and at night ...
Maxillary fungus balls due to Fusarium proliferatum - EM consulteMaxillary fungus balls due to Fusarium proliferatum - EM consulte
Fungus ball is the most common form of non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Aspergillus fumigatus (between 44.8% and 75%) and Aspergillus flavus (14%) are the two most common species recovered. However, recent advances in mycological laboratory methods have enhanced the detection and identification of fungi within fungus balls. Fusarium species, sometimes recovered from other forms of fungal rhinosinusitis such as allergic fungal rhinosinusitis or acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, are poorly associated with sinonasal fungus ball. Here, we describe two further cases of a fungus ball due to Fusarium proliferatum and provide the first description of this fungal pathogen with a fungus ball of odontogenic origin. These case reports demonstrate that uncommon fungal species such as Fusarium spp. might be underestimated as agents of sinusal cavity fungus ball. Enhanced mycological detection and diagnostic techniques might give rise, in the near future, to the emergence of new or rare fungal species ...

Basel, August 6, 2020 - Novartis today announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved Xolair (omalizumab) as an add-on therapy with intranasal corticosteroids (INC) for the treatment of adults (18 years and above) with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) for whom therapy with INC does not provide adequate disease control1. Phase III studies have shown that Xolair reduces nasal polyp size (defined by Nasal Polyp Score; NPS) and improves symptoms and quality of life in patients with CRSwNP5. Xolair is the first treatment for CRSwNP specifically targeting and blocking immunoglobulin E (IgE), a key driver in the inflammatory pathway of this disease. People with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps can experience significant quality of life impairment as a result of their symptoms. The symptoms include long-term nasal congestion and blockage, sleep disruption and loss of smell and taste, said Lars Ingemann, Academic Director, EUFOREA*. The EUFOREA* patient ...

When the paranasal sinuses are diseased, so too is the nasal cavity. [41] Acute or chronic sinusitis is usually defined as inflammation of one or more of the paranasal sinuses. However, it more accurately should be referred to as acute or chronic infectious rhinosinusitis. Acute infectious rhinosinusitis usually is caused by a viral upper respiratory tract infection and persists for several weeks or less, depending on whether or not a secondary bacterial infection complicates the clinical course. Chronic infectious rhinosinusitis is usually characterized by persistent inflammation complicated by a bacterial infection lasting for 6 weeks or longer. Acute and chronic infectious rhinosinusitis exacerbate asthma, and appropriate medical treatment improves both upper and lower airway symptoms. Likewise, successful medical or surgical treatment of chronic infectious rhinosinusitis improves asthma and reduces medication requirements.
