Acute or chronic sinusitis is often overlooked and poorly understood in the pediatric population as many children have frequent episodes of upper respiratory infections that confuse accurate diagnosis. The authors present a prospective study in 89 children with clinical and radiographic presence of maxillary sinusitis in order to underline the most frequent clinical symptoms and signs and the most significant diagnostic procedures that help confirm precise definition of this common disease. The authors also discuss the relationship with allergic factors, clinical causes of poor sinus drainage, and environmental factors that may increase the possibility of sinus infection.
在儿科人群中，急性或慢性鼻窦炎常常被忽视且未得到充分理解，因为许多儿童频繁出现上呼吸道感染，这使得准确诊断变得困难。作者对89例有上颌窦炎临床及影像学表现的儿童进行了一项前瞻性研究，以强调最常见的临床症状和体征以及有助于确诊这种常见疾病的最重要诊断方法。作者还讨论了与过敏因素、鼻窦引流不畅的临床原因以及可能增加鼻窦感染可能性的环境因素之间的关系。
