Acute Sinusitis

JOURNAL ARTICLES:

Acute and chronic bacterial sinusitis. (Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2007)

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis: diagnosis and management. (Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2007) " SUMMARY: Type 1 hypersensitivity to fungal antigens helps to distinguish allergic fungal rhinosinusitis from other forms of eosinophilic mucin chronic rhinosinusitis. Bony erosion and orbital expansion giving rise to proptosis are prominent features of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis."

An immunological approach to chronic and recurrent sinusitis. (Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2007)

Chronic rhinosinusitis patients with polyps or polypoid mucosa have a greater burden of illness. (Am J Rhinol. 2007) "CONCLUSION: Compared with CRSsNP, patients with CRScNP have a greater burden of symptoms, more prior surgery, higher CT scan scores, and greater use of medications."

Chronic rhinosinusitis patterns of illness. (Clin Allergy Immunol. 2007)

Clinical predictors of chronic rhinosinusitis. (Am J Rhinol. 2007)

Complications of acute frontal sinusitis: a retrospective study. (Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2007)

Does rhinitis lead to asthma? (Rhinology. 2007)

Innate immunity of the sinonasal cavity and its role in chronic rhinosinusitis. (Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2007)

Intranasal fungi and chronic rhinosinusitis: what is the relationship? (Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol. 2007)

Presentation and management of allergic fungal sinusitis. (J Coll Physicians Surg Pak. 2007) " Conclusion: In this series, allergic fungal sinusitis was seen in immunocompetent, young males, belonging to poor socioeconomic status, suffering from allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis, presenting with nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and postnasal drip. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was the most important problem solving procedure while lateral rhinotomy was reserved for extensive disease."

Rate of allergic fungal etiology of chronic rhinosinusitis in Turkish population. (Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2007)

Significance of Streptococcus milleri in acute rhinosinusitis with complications. (J Laryngol Otol. 2007) "Streptococcus milleri was the most commonly implicated organism (52.1 per cent; 37/71). Patients from whom this organism was isolated tended to require more than one operative procedure, and had a protracted hospital stay."

The fungal debate: where do we stand today? (Rhinology. 2007) "Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disorder affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses. Although bacteria have long been implicated as pathogens in most forms of CRS, it has been recognized that fungi may be responsible for some forms of CRS. Recent studies have shown that under optimal conditions, fungi can be identified within the nose and paranasal sinuses of nearly every individual."

The role of fungi in the airway of chronic rhinosinusitis patients. (Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol. 2007)
