Bacteriological analysis of isolated chronic sinusitis without polyps

Abstract

IntroductionChronic sinusitis (CRS) is phenotypically divided into inflammation with polyps (CRSwNP) or without polyps (CRSsNP).AimTo try to explain the reasons for isolated sinusitis by analysing medical history as well as anatomical and bacteriological data.Material and methodsIn 2016, endoscopic surgery was performed in 103 patients with CRSsNP within 6 months. The authors evaluated 28 patients with lesions in one sinus.ResultsThe patients did not report any previous facial trauma, dental procedures, there were no odontogenic causes of the disease. They had not been treated with antibiotics within 30 days prior to admission to hospital. Ninety-seven bacterial strains were grown, of which 32 in patients with isolated nasal sinusitis. Statistical analysis has shown that there is a trend toward a statistically significant (p = 0.0868) relationship between the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and the type of inflammation.ConclusionsThere is an indication that the presence of Staphylococcus aureus is associated with isolated sinusitis, especially in women.

Histopathological analysis of sinonasal lesions associated with chronic rhinosinusitis and comparison with computed tomography diagnoses

“…Chronic rhino sinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses and the nasal passage lasting more than three months with two or more of the following manifestations; nasal discharge, swelling nasal mucosa, pain and impaired smell. 1,2 It is a common disease that affects more than 10% of peoples in Europe. 3 CRS can be divided into two phenotypes, either inflammation associated with polyps (CRSwNP) or without polyps (CRSsNP).…”

“…3 CRS can be divided into two phenotypes, either inflammation associated with polyps (CRSwNP) or without polyps (CRSsNP). 1,2,4 In western countries, about 80% of CRS are CRSsNP and only 20% CRSwNP. 5 Based on eosinophilic inflammation: CRSwNP can be subdivided into eosinophilic (Eos CRSwNP) and non-eosinophilic (Non-Eos CRSwNP).…”

A Supplement with Ribes Nigrum, Boswellia Serrata, Bromelain and Vitamin D to Stop Local Inflammation in Chronic Sinusitis: A Case-Control Study

“…The nasal microbiota, which represents the common flora present in the nose and nasal sinus, can be modified by a viral infection or other bacteria not commonly resident in the nose, determining, once acute sinusitis is resolved, a chronic and persistent local inflammation [4]. Other conditions including airborne irritants, cigarette smoke or other toxins and congenital or acquired immune disorders [4] can also negatively impact by changing the nasal environment and reducing the local immune answer [5,6]. Moreover, CS can be caused by a host's allergy (excessive answer to common element as dust); this condition induces a constant inflammation of the mucosa followed by mucosal hyperplasia [5,6].…”

Finally, chronic sinusitis is multifactorial in nature and can include infectious, inflammatory, or structural factors [5,6].…”
