It is relatively uncommon to document sinusitis as a cause of fever with much certainty. Therefore, investigation for sinusitis should be undertaken only after more likely causes have been excluded. and the actions taken should reflect the individual patient's circumstances. Aggressive evaluation
Common causes of fever in tetraplegia include urinary tract infection, respiratory complications, bacteremia, impaired autoregulation, deep vein thrombosis, osteomyelitis, drug fever, and intra-abdominal abscess. We report 2 acute tetraplegic patients who presented with fever of unknown origin.
Febrile intensive care unit (ICU) patients were evaluated prospectively for sinusitis. Of 598 admissions, 26 patients with transnasal cannulas, ICU stays over 48 hours, and occult fevers were identified. These 26 underwent physical examinations and sinus computed tomographic (CT) scans. Maxillary
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the additional disease burden imparted by sinusitis and hay fever (allergic rhinitis) to patients with asthma.
METHODS
Patients with a diagnosis of asthma, hay fever, or sinusitis were extracted from the National Health Interview Survey for the 1997 to 2006 adult
Because sinusitis is usually clinically silent in intubated patients, it is not widely appreciated as an important source of infection and fever in critically ill patients. Three such patients, two men aged 22 and 36 years, and a woman aged 50 years, suffered from respiratory insufficiency due to
BACKGROUND
In the chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) definition of the RhinoSinusitis Task Force (RSTF) of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, fever is one of the minor symptoms. In the EP3OS definition, fever is not mentioned as a contributing factor. The main aim of this study
A patient with a yearlong fever of unknown origin responded to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and was discovered to have culture-proved Nocardia asteroides sinusitis, with absence of detectable disease in other organs. An inhalational route is postulated as the mode of entry of the organism, with
OBJECTIVE
To assess the diagnostic value of fever and facial and dental pain in adults suspected of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
METHODS
PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library.
METHODS
A comprehensive systematic search was performed on March 18, 2013. We included articles reporting studies on
Sinusitis is commonly occurring in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus I (HIV), but the occurrence and etiology have not been established. The purpose of this study was prospectively to determine the occurrence, site and type of paranasal sinus abnormalities seen on MRI in
OBJECTIVE
Determine associations between air quality and the prevalence of hay fever and sinusitis.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study.
METHODS
The National Health Interview Survey for the calendar years 1997-2006 adult sample was analyzed to determine for each calendar year the one-year period
BACKGROUND
Sinusitis is a well recognised but insufficiently understood complication of critical illness. It has been linked to nasotracheal intubation, but its occurrence after orotracheal intubation is less clear. We studied the incidence of sinusitis in patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO)
