[Childhood and adolescent acute maxillary sinusitis]

In the first part of this study, a correlation between the throat and nasopharyngeal cultures and the etiological agents of sinusitis given in the literature is investigated. No correlation has been found. In the second part, 80 patients is divided randomly into three groups, 23 patients (28.8%) has been given serum physiologic therapy, 34 patients (42.4%) amoxicillin + antihistaminic + nose drops therapy and 23 patients (28.8%) amoxicillin + antihistaminic + nose drops therapy. Statistically significant clavulanate difference has been found in the cure rate between the antibiotic related regimens and serum physiologic therapies (p less than 0.05), but no significance has been found between amoxicillin and amoxicillin clavulanate regimens (p greater than 0.05).
