Unrecognized sinusitis has been cited by others as a significant unrecognized factor in patients with asthma, chronic rhinitis, and urticaria. The current study examines the utility of roentgenography of the paranasal sinuses in such patients. Forty-seven percent of patients with flare-ups of asthma had abnormal sinus roentgenograms, a highly significant difference from the 29% prevalence in patients presenting with complaints of rhinitis. The patient's clinical history was most often not helpful in predicting whether or not roentgenographic abnormalities of the sinuses would be detected. Since maxillary sinusitis is the most frequent finding, the erect Waters' view is the most useful single roentgenogram.
其他人已将未被识别的鼻窦炎列为哮喘、慢性鼻炎和荨麻疹患者中一个重要的未被认识的因素。本研究探讨了鼻窦X线摄影在此类患者中的应用价值。哮喘发作患者中有47%鼻窦X线片异常，这与鼻炎患者中29%的患病率有高度显著差异。患者的临床病史在预测是否能检测到鼻窦X线异常方面通常并无帮助。由于上颌窦炎是最常见的发现，直立位华氏位片是最有用的单张X线片。
