Radiographic sinusitis was common in Thai children with asthma, frequently affecting the maxillary sinus. Sinusitis occurrence showed no link to asthma severity, duration, or allergic rhinitis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Radiology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting children worldwide.
  • Sinusitis, inflammation of the sinuses, can coexist with asthma.
  • Radiographic evaluation is crucial for diagnosing sinusitis in pediatric populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and patterns of radiographic sinusitis in Thai asthmatic children.
  • To explore potential correlations between sinusitis and asthma characteristics, allergic rhinitis, and patient demographics.

Main Methods:

  • A radiographic study was conducted on 146 Thai asthmatic patients aged 1-13 years.
  • Sinus radiographic images were analyzed to identify signs of sinusitis.
  • Data on asthma severity, duration, allergic rhinitis, and patient age were collected.

Main Results:

  • 48% of asthmatic patients exhibited radiographic sinusitis.
  • The maxillary sinus was the most frequently involved sinus (98.6%).
  • No significant correlation was found between sinusitis and asthma duration, severity, allergic rhinitis, or patient age.

Conclusions:

  • Radiographic sinusitis is prevalent in Thai children with asthma, particularly involving the maxillary sinus.
  • The presence and severity of sinusitis did not correlate with asthma-related factors or allergic rhinitis.
  • Further research may elucidate the clinical implications of sinusitis in pediatric asthma.
