    Bacteriological and serological tests in acute maxillary sinusitis patients revealed Haemophilus influenzae in 15 cases and Neisseria catarrhalis in 25. This study highlights key bacterial roles in sinusitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Microbiology
    • Immunology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Acute maxillary sinusitis is a common condition often of bacterial origin.
    • Understanding the specific pathogens involved is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Serological and bacteriological diagnostics play key roles in identifying causative agents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare bacteriological and serological findings in patients with acute maxillary sinusitis.
    • To investigate the prevalence of specific bacterial infections, including Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria catarrhalis.
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of antibody titre changes in identifying sinusitis pathogens.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of bacteriological and serological data from 97 patients diagnosed with acute maxillary sinusitis.

  • Detection of complement-fixing antibodies against H. influenzae and N. catarrhalis.
  • Bacteriological examination of aspirated sinus secretions.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant antibody titre changes to H. influenzae were observed in 15 patients, with the bacterium confirmed in 7.
    • Titre changes to N. catarrhalis were detected in 25 patients.
    • No significant changes in anti-streptolysin and anti-staphylolysin titres were found.

    Conclusions:

    • Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria catarrhalis are implicated in acute maxillary sinusitis.
    • Serological antibody titre changes can indicate bacterial infection in sinusitis.
    • Further discussion on the implications of these findings for diagnosis and treatment is warranted.
