See also: Chronic sinusitis Alternative Names Acute sinusitis; Sinus infection; Sinusitis - acute Causes, incidence, and risk factors The sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull (behind the forehead, nasal bones, cheeks, and eyes) that are lined with mucus membranes. Healthy sinuses contain no bacteria or other organisms (they are sterile) and are open, allowing mucus to drain and air to circulate. When inflamed, the sinuses become blocked with mucus and can become infected. Each year, over 30 million adults and children get sinusitis. Sinusitis can be acute (lasting anywhere from 2 - 8 weeks) or chronic, with symptoms lingering much longer. Sinusitis can occur from one of these conditions: Small hairs (cilia) in the sinuses, which help move mucus out, are not working properly. The small openings (ostia) from the sinuses to the nose become blocked.

They can cause infection even when a person's immune system is unaffected by HIV. In an uninfected person, various parts of the immune system play different roles in protecting against bacteria. People with HIV may have abnormalities in their immune system which make them more vulnerable to bacterial infections: immunoglobulins (antibodies) are not secreted properly; monocytes do not work properly; the bone marrow may be damaged by drugs such as AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir), ganciclovir (Cymevene) or anti-cancer chemotherapy; and HIV itself may prevent the release of neutrophils. Bacteria can cause a range of different problems in different parts of the body; the commonest among people with advanced HIV infection are sinusitis, pneumonia, diarrhoea, bronchitis and skin and soft tissue infections. Co-trimoxazole (Septrin) as Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis offers a good level of protection against bacterial infections.

We recommend nasal saline, p.o. garlic, horseradish and lots of water. Chicken soup is recommended as a treatment for the common cold. Its efficacy is probably related to the garlic. It is therefore an excellent treatment for it contains fluids, salts and the garlic which stimulates rhinorrhea. Antihistamines concentrate and increase the viscosity of nasal mucus and impair mucociliary clearance. They are therefore counterproductive. They may provide benefit for individuals with allergic rhinitis. Topical decongestants are addictive, but many physicians recommend their judicious use. Oral decongestants remain efficacious. Systemic steroids suppress immunity and are not normally prescribed. Topical nasal steriods are indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Their benefit for infection and anatomic abnormaltities has not been investigated.

50. Sinusitis-CF News Introduction. When one thinks of respiratory disease in cystic fibrosis (CF), it is usually lung disease that comes to mind. However, acute and chronic sinusitis is a common http://www.stanford.edu/group/cfcenter/CFNews-Sinusitis.html

Sinusitis Main Page Sinusitis and Cystic Fibrosis by Noreen Henig, MD Introduction Anatomically, the lungs can be thought of as the "lower respiratory tract" while the nares and sinuses can be thought of as the "upper respiratory tract." By evaluating the respiratory tract as one continuous structure, it becomes easier to understand the underlying pathophysiology and treatment of sinus disease in CF. The Sinuses in Cystic Fibrosis The true incidence of sinusitis in CF is not known, but the great majority of patients with CF develop sinus symptoms, usually between the ages of 5 and 14 years. Symptoms of sinus disease include: nasal obstruction chronic congestion or discharge headaches post-nasal drip with morning cough cough that is aggravated by lying down severe bad breath Adolescents and adults are more likely than children to report headaches, and headaches are often unresponsive to typical headache remedies. Acute sinusitis is the term applied when symptoms become severe, but in reality, patients with cystic fibrosis always have chronic sinusitis. Figure 2: Since sinusitis is characterized by infection, it is easy to predict that the infections found in CF related sinusitis are distinct from the bacterial infections found in non-CF sinusitis. Just as in lung infections in CF, the most common agents of sinusitis in CF are:

Sinusitis is so widespread that Americans with the problem miss an average of four work days a year. There are over 500,000 sinus surgeries performed each year. Sinusitis Sinusitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the nasal sinuses. The nasal sinuses are the hollow cavities found within the cheek bones and near the eyes. The inflammation of the nasal sinuses is usually triggered by inadequate draining due to allergies, infections or structural problems of the nose such as narrow drainage passages or a deviated septum. Chronic Sinusitis Chronic Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses that lasts for 4 months or more. Allergies are frequently associated with chronic sinusitis. People with asthma have a particularly high frequency of chronic sinusitis. Inhalation of airborne allergens (substances that provoke an allergic reaction), such as dust, mold, and pollen, often set off allergic reactions. Allergic reactions often contribute to the frequency of sinus infections. Damp weather and pollutants in the air and in buildings may also affect people with chronic sinusitis.

Introduction Sinusitis is inflammation of the lining of the sinuses, caused by a viral or bacterial infection. The sinuses are small, air-filled cavities behind your cheekbones and forehead. Sinusitis typically causes a high temperature, pain and tenderness in the face, and a blocked or runny nose (see symptoms of sinusitis). It is a common condition and can affect people of any age. The sinuses You have four pairs of sinuses in your head: two sinuses behind your forehead (frontal sinuses), two at either side of the bridge of your nose (ethmoid sinuses), two behind your eyes (sphenoid sinuses), and two behind your cheekbones (maxillary sinuses). Your sinuses open up into the cavity of your nose and help control the temperature and water content of the air reaching your lungs. Usually, the mucus naturally produced by your sinuses drains into your nose through small channels. These channels can become blocked when the sinuses are infected and inflamed. It is the maxillary sinuses (the largest ones behind the cheekbones) that are most commonly affected.

Sinus headaches can be difficult to diagnose, however, because symptoms are similar to tension headaches and migraines. Signs and Symptoms: Sinus headaches generally have these symptoms: Pressure like pain in one specific area of your face or head (for example, behind your eyes)
