Download or read book Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis written by Gauri Mankekar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis has been increasing over the years. The understanding of its pathophysiology has improved with newer serological tests and diagnostic methods helping in earlier diagnosis and reducing patient morbidity. It was believed earlier that invasive fungal sinusitis is seen only in immune compromised patients but clinical reports suggest otherwise. More anti-fungal drugs are being added to improve incidence of patient survival. This book aims to compile all practical information about invasive fungal sinusitis into a single volume. Therefore, busy clinicians would not have to perform exhaustive literature studies to diagnose invasive fungal sinusitis. The book aims to provide an overview of diseases which could be mistaken for invasive fungal sinusitis and discuss how the management is different. Book sections consist of clinical, microbiological, serological, pathological, radiological and pharmacological features of the disease and its management. Each section is important in today’s context as it dynamically alters the management of the patient. Early clinical suspicion and rapid microbiological, pathological and radiological diagnosis with aggressive treatment with surgical debridement and medical therapy leads to favorable outcomes.

Download or read book Update on Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis written by Department of Health & Human Services and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an update of the original evidence report, Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis, published in March 1999 by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Our objective is to summarize and analyze comparative studies on the antibiotic efficacies in the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis. The research questions in this evidence report are: 1. Given a clinical diagnosis of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis, what are the comparative efficacies of the antibiotics in resolving symptoms and preventing complications or recurrence? 1a. Is there evidence that duration of antibiotic treatment in acute bacterial rhinosinusitis affects efficacy? 2. What adverse effects are reported for antibiotics used for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis? 3. How does the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine affect the resistance patterns of pneumococcus and the treatment decisions in acute bacterial rhinosinusitis? Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is defined by clinical signs and symptoms of inflammation of sinuses and nasal passages of less than 30 days. Cure, improvement, and treatment failure definitions are based on the original reports. Studies of subjects with either acute sinusitis or acute exacerbation of chronic sinusitis were included. Studies of sinusitis with complications, those that exclusively evaluated chronic sinusitis and studies of acute sinusitis along with other respiratory infections were excluded.
