This clinical practice guideline formulates recommendations for health care providers regarding the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of children, ages 1 to 21 years, with uncomplicated acute, subacute, and recurrent acute bacterial sinusitis. It was developed through a comprehensive search and analysis of the medical literature. Expert consensus opinion was used to enhance or formulate recommendations where data were insufficient. A subcommittee, composed of pediatricians with expertise in infectious disease, allergy, epidemiology, family practice, and pediatric practice, supplemented with an otolaryngologist and radiologist, were selected to formulate the practice parameter. Several other groups (including members of the American College of Emergency Physicians, American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology, as well as numerous national committees and sections of the American Academy of Pediatrics) have reviewed and revised the guideline. Three specific issues were considered: 1) evidence for the efficacy of various antibiotics in children; 2) evidence for the efficacy of various ancillary, nonantibiotic regimens; and 3) the diagnostic accuracy and concordance of clinical symptoms, radiography (and other imaging methods), and sinus aspiration.

Extractions: Sinusitis and Sinus Infections? Sinus infections afflict about 37 million Americans every year. 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.

Extractions: Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation of the lining of the air-filled cavities in the skull. These air-filled cavities are located above the eyebrows in the forehead, behind the nose, and just below the eyes. They drain into the nose. The most common cause of acute sinus pain is a viral infection of the respiratory tract leading to obstruction of the drainage of these sinuses.

http://www.amcny.org/owners/infosheets/sinusitis.htm

Extractions: To Find a Specialist Sinusitis inuses are bony cavities in the skull that communicate with the nasal passages. The function of sinuses is unknown, but some theories are that they act as insulators, add resonance to the voice, moisten inspired air, or act as shock absorbers. Sinus infections are caused by invasion by bacteria, fungi, or viruses; in cats, viruses are thought to be the most common cause. Tooth root abscess in both dogs and cats is associated with sinusitis. Clinical signs of sinus infection include discharge from the nose or eyes, coughing, gagging, and postnasal drip. Radiographs (x-rays), MRI or CT-scan of the skull may be necessary to diagnose sinusitis and monitor the response to treatment. Blood tests (specifically, white blood cell count), bacterial culturing of affected tissues, and biopsy of the nasal cavity may be required for definitive diagnosis and effective treatment. Treatment Medication will probably be prescribed, and must be given as directed. Long-term use of an antibiotic may be necessary in order to achieve adequate penetration into the nasal cavity. Periodic nasal flushing and drainage may also be recommended by your veterinarian. Surgery is performed in some animals.
Sinusitis - Health Information
Health information discussing sinusitis, which is an inflammation of a mucosalsinus(es) lining.
http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/dis-cond/cold/sinusiti.html

Extractions: Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosal lining of one or more of the sinuses. The sinuses are air cavities in the bones of the skull and face, which connect with the nose through small openings. There are four pairs of sinuses: the frontal sinuses sit above the eyes in the forehead, the maxillary sinuses lie behind the cheekbones, the sphenoid pair rests behind the nose, and the ethmoid sinuses are located between the eyes and the bridge of the nose. WHAT CAUSES IT? Sinusitis can be caused by viral, bacterial or fungal infection, or allergy. Inflammation produces swelling of the mucosal lining; this blocks the small openings into the nose, preventing normal drainage of the sinuses. Accumulation of mucus and secretions within the cavities turns them into an ideal breeding ground for further infection. Sinusitis frequently occurs with or after a cold. WHAT ARE ITS COMMON SYMPTOMS? Pain over the infected sinuses, thick opaque yellow-green nasal discharge, fever, fatigue, and headache that lasts all day. Depending on the sinus involved, there may be swelling around the eyes, increased pain with bending, coughing and throat irritation due to a post-nasal drip, or dizziness. Pain can also occur behind the eyes or around the teeth. IS IT CONTAGIOUS?

http://www.mold-survivor.com/fungal_sinusitis1.htm

Extractions: Fungal Sinusitis An article published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings way back in September, 1999 by the Mayo Clinic suggested that fungal sinusitis may be much more common than previously thought. The disease is now know as EFRS (eosinophilic fungal rhinosinusitis) or EMRS (eosinophilic mucinous rhinosinusitis); possibly only a major point to a physician. Of greater importance to the patient; those fungal infections may very well have been caused by toxigenic molds. Fungal growth was found in washings from the sinuses in 96% of patients with chronic sinusitis. Normal controls had almost as much growth, the difference being that those patients with chronic sinusitis had eosinophiles which had become activated. As a result of the activation, the eosinophiles released MBP (Major Basic Protein) into the mucus which attacks and kills the fungus but is very irritating to the lining of the sinuses. It is believed that MBP injures the epithelium and allows the bacteria to proliferate. The injury to the epithelium by the fungus and mucus led to the belief that treatment of chronic sinusitis should be directed at the fungus rather than the bacteria. Unfortunately the discussion above was not included in the original article by the Mayo clinic. As a result, the article was not well received initially. There was also no information about the success of treatment in the original article, and there was very little discussed about mechanisms. As more data has accumulated, there is more evidence that the problem may be as important as the Mayo Clinic suggests and the significance is starting to be accepted.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> You're coughing and sneezing and tired and achy. You think that you might be getting a cold. Later, when the medicines you've been taking to relieve the symptoms of the common cold are not working and you've now got a terrible headache, you finally drag yourself to the doctor. After listening to your history of symptoms and perhaps doing a sinus x-ray, the doctor says you have sinusitis. Sinusitis simply means inflammation of the sinuses, but this gives little indication of the misery and pain this condition can cause. Chronic sinusitis, sinusitis that recurs frequently, affects an estimated 32 million people in the United States. Americans spend millions of dollars each year for medications that promise relief from their sinus symptoms. Sinuses are hollow air spaces, of which there are many in the human body. When people say, "I'm having a sinus attack," they usually are referring to symptoms in one or more of four pairs of cavities, or spaces, known as paranasal sinuses. These cavities, located within the skull or bones of the head surrounding the nose, include the frontal sinuses over the eyes in the brow area, the maxillary sinuses inside each cheekbone, the ethmoids just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes, and behind them, the sphenoids in the upper region of the nose and behind the eyes.
