Changes in Pre- and Post-adenoidectomy Bacterial Profile in Children With Chronic Rhinosinusitis

CONCLUSION: The preoperative bacterial abundance of the nasal cavity and the adenoid surfaces was similar, showing a clear correlation. No single specific bacterium was established to be a dominant species associated with the development of CRS in children. The post-adenoidectomy bacterial richness in the nasal cavity was significantly increased, which may be closely related to the relief of postoperative sinusitis symptoms.PMID:36269763 | DOI:10.1177/01455613221135647
