Acute rhinosinusitis is a common disease with worldwide prevalence. It is a significant burden on the health services. It is most commonly caused by viruses and is self-limiting in nature. The diagnosis of acute rhinosinusitis is clinical and sinus radiography is not indicated routinely. Most cases of acute rhinosinusitis are treated symptomatically. However, symptoms may persist beyond 10 days when secondary bacterial infection prevails. Antibiotics are reserved for moderate or severe cases or when there is development of complications of acute rhinosinusitis. This paper provides an update on the current management of acute rhinosinusitis.
急性鼻窦炎是一种全球普遍存在的常见疾病。它给医疗卫生服务带来了重大负担。其最常见的病因是病毒,本质上具有自限性。急性鼻窦炎的诊断基于临床,通常不建议进行鼻窦造影。大多数急性鼻窦炎病例采用对症治疗。然而,当继发细菌感染占主导时,症状可能持续超过10天。抗生素仅用于中度或重度病例,或急性鼻窦炎出现并发症时。本文提供了急性鼻窦炎当前治疗方法的最新情况。
