    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Sinusitis diagnosis in children presents challenges for practicing pediatricians.
    • Common sinusitis presentations include cough, headache, fever, and rhinitis.
    • Clinical findings often involve pharyngitis, post-nasal drip, and sinus point tenderness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic challenges of sinusitis in children.
    • To assess the efficacy and tolerance of doxycycline in treating sinusitis in pediatric patients.
    • To analyze treatment duration and improvement rates associated with doxycycline therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 106 children and adolescents (aged 6-17) diagnosed with sinusitis.
    • Clinical data collection including symptoms, physical examination findings, and treatment outcomes.
    • Assessment of treatment success, cure rates, improvement, failures, and duration of doxycycline therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Maxillary sinusitis was most common (56.5%), followed by maxillary and ethmoidal sinusitis (24.5%).
    • Doxycycline treatment resulted in a 94.3% success rate (72.6% cure, 21.7% marked improvement).
    • Rapid subjective and objective improvements were observed in 61.3% and 75.5% of cases, respectively, with good tolerance.

    Conclusions:

    • Doxycycline is a highly effective antibiotic for treating sinusitis in children and adolescents.
    • The treatment duration typically ranged from 15-21 days, yielding significant positive outcomes.
    • Doxycycline exhibits excellent tolerance in pediatric patients, with minimal gastrointestinal side effects.
