“…Sinusitis and its treatment raise issues: a financial issue due to medication costs and health expenditures related to sinusitis; a bacteriologic ecological issue due to the risk of antibiotic resistant strain [4]. In case of unsuccessful antibiotherapy, complication, surgical prevention or evolution to chronicity [9], many additional tests can be used: radiography [10], CAT scan [11], ultrasonography [12,13] and more [14,15]. To this day, none of these imagery tests constitutes a quick, noninvasive and efficient diagnostic tool for sinusitis…”

Sinusitis is a frequent otorhinolaryngologic disease, often misdiagnosed. None of the usual imaging equipment is specific, quick or efficient enough for sinusitis diagnosis. Misdiagnosis induces unnecessary health expenditures as well as a risk of antibiotic resistant strain development. Our study (with one healthy control subject, two pathological subjects) shows that infrared thermography could be an efficient, low-cost and non-invasive diagnostic tool for clinical purposes. A cohort study is necessary to establish threshold values for systematic reliable diagnosis.
