MICROFLORA IN CHRONIC POLYPOUS SINUSITIS

Аннотация

170 patients of different age with chronic polypous sinusitis have undergone sur­gical and medicamentous sanation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In al! the cases microflora of the middle nasal passage was studied as well as pathogenic properties of the causative agents, their sensitivity to antibiotics, lysis by phages, and data were correlated to the clinical data. Obtained results suggested a considerable staphylococcal dissemination of the nasal mucosa in presence of polypous sinusitis that increased in the early postoperative period and somewhat decreased in 6—12 months postsurgically. Pathogenic chromogenic staphylococcus (especially of phage group I) was associated with more serious course of disease with frequent recurrences of nasal polyposis. Microbial associations in suppurative-and-polypous sinusitis were isolated 2 times more often than in polypous one.
