  • ChroniC sinusitis in Children
    Acta oto-rhino-laryngologica Belgica, 1997
    Co-Authors: J J Daele
    Abstract:

    In Children, sinusitis is a Common, generally unCompliCated, and self limiting disease whiCh drops with age. The diagnosis is diffiCult beCause of relatively non speCifiC signs and symptoms that overlap with viral upper respiratory infeCtion and allergy. Plain paranasal sinus radiographs are not adequate, in determining the extent of involvement in reCurrent or ChroniC sinusitis and so CT sCan has beCome the standard. Viral illness appears to be the most Common predisposing faCtor. Immune defeCts (mainly IG2 and IGA) may exist in a signifiCant perCentage of Children. The role of allergy seems less important. With advanCes in the genetiC field of CystiC fibrosis, genetiC faCtors are advoCated in ChroniC or reCurrent sinusitis. The most Common baCterial pathogens in pediatriC sinusitis patients are SP (StreptoCoCCus Pneumoniae), HI (Hemophilus Influenza) and MC (Moraxella Catarrhalis). Other less frequent baCterial speCies inClude Group A StreptoCoCCus, Group C StreptoCoCCus, StreptoCoCCus viridans, peptoStreptoCoCCus, moraxella speCies and Eikenella Corrodens. Respiratory anaerobes are not Common. AntibiotiCs resistant to the aCtion of the beta-laCtamase are the Cornerstone in mediCal treatment. In reCurrent aCute sinusitis prophylaCtiC antimiCrobials may be helpful. The indiCation for surgery remains Controversial. To date, we have no prospeCtive studies Comparing surgiCal to mediCal therapy in order to guide us in deCiding surgiCal indiCation. It is therefore reCommended to follow a Conservative traCk and to limit surgiCal proCedures in Children with suppurative CompliCations, nasal obstruCtion from polyposis or refraCtory sinusitis aggravating ChroniC pulmonary disease suCh as asthma.

  • BaCterial flora in pharyngitis and tonsillitis
    Medycyna doświadczalna i mikrobiologia, 1998
    Co-Authors: H Radosz-komoniewska, Rogala-zawada D, Maria Zientara, Maria Rudy, M. Nowakowska
    Abstract:

    The aim of the study was a miCrobiologiCal analysis of pharyngeal swabs obtained from 158 patients with the diagnosis of pharyngitis and purulent exudates from the tonsillar Crypts of 10 patients treated for ChroniC purulent tonsillitis. Beta haemolytiC streptoCoCCi Groups A, B, C and G were isolated from 30% of the patients. The most frequently isolated were StreptoCoCCus pyogenes--12% of patients and StreptoCoCCus Group C--10.7%. Other streptoCoCCi were isolated less frequently: StreptoCoCCus Group B--44%, Group G--2.5%. The majority of isolated baCteria belonged to potential pathogeniC flora (70% patients). StaphyloCoCCus aureus (37%) and Haemophilus spp. (36%) were isolated most frequently. Other baCteria were isolated in the following sequenCe: Moraxella Catarrhalis--22%, StreptoCoCCus pneumoniae--17% and Gram-negative rods from the EnterobaCteriaCeae family--6%. One Case of Plaut-VinCent tonsillitis was diagnosed. AerobiC and anaerobiC baCteria were isolated from purulent exudates from the tonsillar Crypts of 10 patients treated for ChroniC purulent tonsillitis. The isolated anaerobiC baCteria belonged to genus of Prevotella, FusobaCterium, PeptoStreptoCoCCus and Gemella.

  • AerobiC and anaerobiC baCterial flora in ChroniC sinusitis in adults
    Medycyna doświadczalna i mikrobiologia, 1997
    Co-Authors: H Radosz-komoniewska, Kapp-burzyńska Z, Kłaptocz B, Iwona Wilk, Alicja Ekiel
    Abstract:

    The aim of the study was to analyse miCrobiologiCally samples obtained from 30 patients aged from 21 to 73 years treated for ChroniC sinusitis. AerobiC baCteria only were isolated in 16 patients (53%), and anaerobiC organisms only in 5 patients (17%). Mixed aerobiC and anaerobiC isolates were reCovered from 9 patients (30%). The isolated aerobiC baCteria were as follows: streptoCoCCi from the speCies StreptoCoCCus salivarius, StreptoCoCCus anginosus, StreptoCoCCus Group C, StreptoCoCCus sanguis, StaphyloCoCCus aureus, Gram-negative rods from the genus Haemophilus and rods from the EnterobaCteriaCeae family, and strains of Moraxella Catarrhalis. The isolated anaerobiC miCroorganisms Gram-negative rods from the genus Prevotella, BaCteroides, FusobaCterium, Gram-positive CoCCi from the genus PeptoStreptoCoCCus. Other organisms from the genus Vailonella, EubaCterium and ACtinomyCes were isolated less frequently. In 15 patients only one isolate was reCovered, in 15 patients isolated baCteria were mixed with other miCroorganisms.

  • StreptoCoCCus Group C baCteremia and meningitis
    Harefuah, 2005
    Co-Authors: Hagit Shani, Noam Fink, Meir Mouallem
    Abstract:

    Group C streptoCoCCi are Common Causative agents of infeCtions in animals, but a rare Cause of baCteremia and meningitis in humans. Severe infeCtions Caused by this baCterium are assoCiated with high morbidity and mortality rates. This artiCle presents a Case study of a young patient who suffered from baCteremia and meningitis that were Caused by StreptoCoCCus Group C. The CliniCal manifestations, prognosis and treatment options of this kind of infeCtion are disCussed.
