Streptococcus pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae account for more than 50% of bacterial acute sinusitis. Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is a rare disease with potentially devastating complications such as cranial nerve involvement, brain abscess, and meningitis. It occurs at an incidence of about 2.7% of all sinus infections. There have been no previous reported cases of unilateral sphenoid sinusitis presenting as septicaemia in an otherwise healthy young immunocompetent adult.
肺炎链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌占细菌性急性鼻窦炎的50%以上。孤立性蝶窦炎是一种罕见疾病,可引发如脑神经受累、脑脓肿和脑膜炎等潜在的严重并发症。其在所有鼻窦感染中的发生率约为2.7%。此前尚无关于在健康的年轻免疫功能正常成年人中,单侧蝶窦炎表现为败血症的病例报道。
