RHINOSINUSITIS SYMPTOMS, PATHOGENS, PREVENTION

Abstract

Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses: maxillary, frontal, ethmoid or sphenoidal. The name of the disease "rhinosinusitis" is literally encoded: from the ancient Greek "RINO" - "nose", from the Latin sinus "SINUS" - "sinus" and from the Latin suffix -itis, which means "inflammation". means bread. Inflammation of the nasal mucosa is always accompanied by inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. On the contrary, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses is always accompanied by inflammation of the nasal mucosa. If rhinosinusitis lasts less than 4 weeks, it is called acute rhinosinusitis. If rhinosinusitis lasts more than 12 weeks, it is already a chronic form of sinusitis.
