The aim of this study is to determine the role of nasal smear in evaluating diagnosis and response to the treatment by the patient of acute maxillary sinusitis. We compared nasal smear and histopathological findings obtained from rabbits experimentally induced acute maxillary sinusitis. The animals were divided into two groups; one with blocked ostium and treated with antibiotic and the other applied natural ostiotomy, during a 4-week period. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in respect of recovery period. This conclusion was derived from nasal smear and biopsy findings. It was observed that nasal smear and biopsy findings were consistent with each other and with clinical findings. The results of this study revealed that nasal smear may be used in the diagnosis and treatment follow-up of acute maxillary sinusitis.
本研究的目的是确定鼻涂片在评估急性上颌窦炎患者的诊断及治疗反应中的作用。我们比较了通过实验诱导急性上颌窦炎的兔子的鼻涂片和组织病理学结果。将动物分为两组；一组阻塞窦口并用抗生素治疗，另一组进行自然窦口开放术，为期4周。两组在恢复期方面无统计学显著差异。这一结论来自鼻涂片和活检结果。观察到鼻涂片和活检结果相互一致且与临床结果一致。本研究结果表明，鼻涂片可用于急性上颌窦炎的诊断和治疗随访。
