    Decongestant nasal drops severely damaged rabbit respiratory cilia and epithelium, showing virus-like particles and swelling. Blood vessels also exhibited increased permeability, indicating adverse effects on nasal tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Electron Microscopy
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Nasal decongestants are widely used for symptomatic relief.
    • Potential adverse effects on the nasal mucosa warrant detailed investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the ultrastructural effects of decongestant nasal drops on rabbit respiratory nasal mucosa.

    Main Methods:

    • Rabbit nasal mucosa was examined using electron microscopy.
    • Morphological changes in cilia, epithelium, and blood vessels were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Severe damage to cilia, with appearance of virus-like particles.
    • Epithelial changes suggestive of oedematous infiltration.
    • Ultrastructural alterations in tunical blood vessels indicating increased permeability.

    Conclusions:

    • Decongestant drops induce significant ultrastructural damage to the nasal mucosa.
    • Findings suggest potential for impaired nasal function and increased susceptibility to infection.
