EGCR directed a change in therapy in 35 of 68 (51.4%) patients with CRS. The pathogens isolated from CRS and AECRS were similar and predominately S. aureus, acute pathogens, and P. aeruginosa. Purulent secretions are more frequently bacteriologically positive than nonpurulent secretions and more common in AECRS than CRS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
