[Bacteriological analysis of chronic sinusitis in school-age children (36 cases report)]
1Department of Otolaryngology, Third Clinical College of Sun Yat-Sen, University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou 510630.
Objective:
To research the bacteriological characters of chronic sinusitis in school-age children and to provide basis for clinical treatment.
Method:
The purrent discharges taken from middle meatus of 36 patients were cultured for bacteria and the antimicrobial suscepility was determined.
Result:
The positive rate of bacteria culture was 83.3%, the compound infection rate was 36.1%. Aerobic bacteria were present in 76.7%, anaerobic bacteria were present in 55.6%. The result of antimicrobial susceptibility test was scattered.
Conclusion:
Infection rate of anaerobic bacteria was high in chronic sinusitis in school-age children and result of antimicrobial susceptibility was scattered. It was important to have anti-anaerobic treatment in chronic sinusitis in school-age children and to take an antimicrobial susceptibility test before medical treatment.
