Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the bacterial characteristics of persistent rhinosinusitis after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
METHOD:Twenty patients with nasal septum deviation, 30 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and 20 patients with persistent rhinosinusitis, were selected to take discharges from middle meatus during the operation. Bacteria culture and drug susceptibility of the discharges were compared between three groups.
RESULT:There were 13, 15 and 15 isolates detected in nasal septum deviation group, CRS group and persistent rhinosinusitis group. There was no significant difference among the three groups at the detection rate of Gram-positive bacteria. But there was significant difference between the persistent rhinosinusitis group and the other two groups at the detection rate of Gram-negative bacteria. The detection rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria were significantly higher in persistent rhinosinusitis group than in CRS group.
CONCLUSION:Aerobic bacteria can live in nasal cavity. Bacteria infection is one of the etiological factors of persistent rhinosinusitis after FESS. Gram-negative bacteria and antibiotic resistant bacteria are increased in patients with persistent rhinosinusitis. To treat the persistent rhinosinusitis after surgery, the antibiotics should be reasonably used according to the bacteria culture and the drug susceptibility.
