Summary

Acute sinusitis causes significant inflammation in the lamina propria, with modest epithelial changes. B lymphocytes cluster around blood vessels, suggesting recruitment from circulation during this sinus infection.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Acute sinusitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa.
  • Understanding the detailed histopathological and immunohistochemical changes is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the histopathological and immunohistochemical features of human acute sinusitis.
  • To compare inflammatory cell infiltration in the lamina propria and epithelial layers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, controlled study involving sinus mucosal tissues from 11 acute sinusitis patients and 4 controls.
  • Histological processing with H&E, PAS, and toluidine blue staining.
  • Immunohistochemistry for T and B lymphocytes, with quantitative cell counting.

Main Results:

  • Lamina propria showed significant edema, neutrophil/mononuclear cell infiltration, microabscesses, thrombophlebitis, and necrosis.
  • Epithelial layer involvement was less pronounced.
  • Increased T and B lymphocytes observed; B lymphocytes formed clusters near blood vessels and glands.

Conclusions:

  • Inflammatory response in the lamina propria is more severe than in the epithelium in acute sinusitis.
  • B lymphocyte clustering around blood vessels suggests hematogenous recruitment during the inflammatory process.
