Complications to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis in children - a prospective study; bacterial cultures, virus detection, allergy sensitization and immunoglobulins

CONCLUSIONS: There seem to be differences in the patterns of bacterial growth in nasopharyngeal, middle meatus and surgical cultures in children with complications to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Presence of certain viruses and sensitization to airborne allergies seem to play a role in complications to acute bacterial rhinosinusitis in children.PMID:37338824 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin22.168
