Pediatric sinusitis in Thailand presents with common symptoms like rhinorrhea and cough. Maxillary and ethmoid sinuses are most frequently affected, with a significant atopic predisposition observed in children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Sinusitis is a prevalent childhood illness with distinct clinical features compared to adults.
  • Limited data exists on childhood sinusitis specifically within Thailand.
  • This study aimed to characterize childhood sinusitis in the Thai population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the clinical characteristics of sinusitis in pediatric patients in Thailand.
  • To identify common symptoms, signs, and affected sinuses in childhood sinusitis.
  • To investigate the role of atopy and specific allergens in pediatric sinusitis.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective descriptive study involving 100 pediatric patients diagnosed with sinusitis.
  • Clinical diagnosis based on upper respiratory infection symptoms and rhinoscopic findings.

  • Sinus radiography and allergy skin prick tests were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Common symptoms included rhinorrhea (95%), cough (91%), nasal congestion (74%), and posterior nasal dripping (66%).
    • Maxillary (99%) and ethmoid (91%) sinuses were most commonly involved.
    • Positive allergy skin prick tests were found in 53.6% of patients, with dust mites being the primary allergen.

    Conclusions:

    • Rhinorrhea, cough, nasal congestion, and posterior nasal drip are key indicators for diagnosing sinusitis in children.
    • Maxillary and ethmoid sinuses are the most frequently affected.
    • A significant atopic predisposition (up to 53.6%) is noted in this pediatric population.
