[Influence of chronic sinusitis on middle ear function].

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of range size and duration of chronic sinusitis on middle ear function. METHOD: Eustachian tube function, tympanogram and air hearing threshold were measured with an acoustic impedance audiometer and pure tone audiometer in 56 patients (112 ears). RESULT: Eustachian tube function was disturbed in 48.3% cases, tympanogram was abnormal in 42.0% cases, and air hearing threshold was increased in 33.9% cases. Comparison of middle ear function between anterior sinusitis and pan-sinusitis showed significant difference (P < 0.01), middle ear function between the course of less 5 years and of more than 5 years had significant difference (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The damage of middle ear function become more serious with the extent of lesion and with the longer course of disease in paranasal sinuses.

[Bacteriological analysis of chronic sinusitis in school-age children (36 cases report)].

OBJECTIVE: To research the bacteriological characters of chronic sinusitis in school-age children and to provide basis for clinical treatment. METHOD: The purrent discharges taken from middle meatus of 36 patients were cultured for bacteria and the antimicrobial suscepility was determined. RESULT: The positive rate of bacteria culture was 83.3%, the compound infection rate was 36.1%. Aerobic bacteria were present in 76.7%, anaerobic bacteria were present in 55.6%. The result of antimicrobial susceptibility test was scattered. CONCLUSION: Infection rate of anaerobic bacteria was high in chronic sinusitis in school-age children and result of antimicrobial susceptibility was scattered. It was important to have anti-anaerobic treatment in chronic sinusitis in school-age children and to take an antimicrobial susceptibility test before medical treatment.
