Anatomy of Sinuses Acute Rhinosinusitis Viral Common Symptoms
- Slides: 122
Anatomy of Sinuses
Acute Rhinosinusitis (Viral) • Common Symptoms: Nasal discharge, nasal congestion, facial pressure, cough, fever, muscle aches, joint pains, sore throat with hoarseness. • Symptoms resolve in 10 -14 days • Common in fall, winter and spring. • Treatment: Symptomatic
Acute Bacterial Sinusitis • Causative agents are usually the normal inhabitants of the respiratory tract. • Common agents: Streptococcus pneumoniae Nontypeable Haemophilus Influenzae Moraxella Catarrhalis
Diagnosis • Based on clinical signs and symptoms • Physical Exam: Palpate over the sinuses, look for structural abnormalities like DNS. • X-ray sinuses: not usually needed but may show cloudiness and air fluid levels • Limited coronal CT are more sensitive to inflammatory changes and bone destruction
Signs and Symptoms • Feeling of fullness and pressure over the involved sinuses, nasal congestion and purulent nasal discharge. • Other associated symptoms: Sore throat, malaise, low grade fever, headache, toothache, cough > 1 week duration. • Symptoms may last for more than 10 -14 days.
TM MANIFESTATIONS nasal drainage and congestion facial pain or pressure headache. Thick, purulent or discolored nasal discharge is often thought to indicate bacterial sinusitis, but it also occurs early in viral infections such as the common cold § Other nonspecific symptoms include cough, sneezing, and fever § Tooth pain, most often involving the upper molars, is associated with bacterial sinusitis § § § Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM MANIFESTATIONS § sinus pain or pressure often localizes and be worse when the patient bends over or is supine § symptoms of advanced sphenoid or ethmoid sinus: severe frontal or retroorbital pain radiating to the occiput, thrombosis of the cavernous sinus, and signs of orbital cellulitis § advanced frontal sinusitis , Pott's puffy tumor, swelling and pitting edema over the frontal bone , subperiosteal abscess Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM DIAGNOSIS § illness duration § acute bacterial sinusitis is uncommon in patients whose symptoms have lasted <7 days § facial or tooth pain in combination with purulent nasal discharge that have persisted for >7 days Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE SINUSITIS § Update of 2001 guideline § Focuses on ages 1– 18 years § Not subacute or chronic; not <1 year § Not anatomic abnormalities; immunodeficiencies, cystic fibrosis, ciliary dyskinesia
TM DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE SINUSITIS Areas of change: 1. Addition of “worsening course” 2. New data on effectiveness of antibiotics 3. Option to observe for 3 days in “persistent” infection 4. Imaging is not necessary to identify or confirm a diagnosis of acute sinusitis
TM KEY ACTION STATEMENT 1 Clinicians should make a diagnosis of acute bacterial sinusitis (ABS) when a child with an upper respiratory infection (URI) presents with: § Persistent illness (nasal discharge or daytime cough or both for ≥ 10 days without improvement) § Worsening course (worsening or new onset of nasal discharge, daytime cough or fever after initial improvement) § Severe onset (concurrent fever and purulent nasal discharge for 3 days)
TM COMMON CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS FOR ABS Persistent Symptoms
TM ACUTE SINUSITIS “PERSISTENT SYMPTOMS” § 10– 30 days (no improvement) § Nasal discharge (any quality) § Daytime cough (worse at night) § Fever – variable § Headache and facial pain – variable
TM PERSISTENT SYMPTOMS § Only 6– 8% of children meet criteria Before concluding that child has sinusitis: § Differentiate between sequential episodes of URI and sinusitis § Establish that symptoms are NOT improving
TM ACUTE SINUSITIS “SEVERE SYMPTOMS” § High fever (T ≥ 39 o C) and § Purulent nasal discharge concurrently for at least 3– 4 days § Need to distinguish from uncomplicated viral infections with moderate illness
TM “WORSENING SYMPTOMS” § Typical viral URI symptoms § Nasal discharge or cough or both for 5– 6 days which is improving § Sudden worsening manifests as Increase nasal discharge or cough or both Onset of severe headache Onset of new fever
TM IMAGES – KEY ACTION STATEMENT 2 A Clinicians should not obtain imaging studies (plain x-rays, computed tomography [CT] , magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or ultrasound [U/S]) to distinguish ABS from viral URI Brian Evans/Photo Researchers/Getty Images
TM IMAGES § Historically, imaging was confirmatory § No longer recommended § Continuity of respiratory mucosa leads to diffuse inflammation during viral URI § Responsible for controversy regarding images
TM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY, SINUS RADIOGRAPHY § patients who meet these criteria, only 40 to 50% have true bacterial sinusitis § CT or XR is not recommended for routine cases, particularly early in the course of illness (i. e. , at <7 days) § persistent, recurrent, or chronic sinusitis, CT of the sinuses is choice. Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM IMAGING OF SINUSES § 1940 s – Observations made regarding frequency of abnormal sinus radiographs in “healthy” children § 1970 s and 1980 s – Children with URI had frequent abnormalities of paranasal sinuses § As CT scanning of central nervous system (CNS) and skull became prevalent, incidental abnormalities observed § When MRI performed in children with URI, 70% show major abnormalities of mucosa
TM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE COMMON COLD § 31 healthy young adults with new “cold” § Recruited within 48– 96 hours § To have CT of paranasal sinuses § 87% had significant abnormalities of their maxillary sinuses; with air-fluid level § Conclusion: Common cold associated with frequent and striking abnormalities of sinuses Gwaltney JM Jr, Phillips CD, Miller RD, et al. Computed tomography study of the common cold. N Engl J Med. 1994; 330(1): 25– 30

TM Abnormalities on CT Scan Image provided by speaker.
TM SUMMARY OF IMAGING § When paranasal sinuses are imaged in any way in children with uncomplicated URI, majority will be significantly abnormal § Normal images = No sinusitis § Abnormal images cannot confirm diagnosis and are not necessary in children with uncomplicated clinical sinusitis
TM IMAGES – KEY ACTION STATEMENT 2 B Clinicians should obtain a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the paranasal sinuses and/or an MRI with contrast whenever a child is suspected of having orbital or CNS complications of ABS
TM COMPLICATIONS OF SINUSITIS Orbital a. sympathetic effusion b. subperiosteal abscess c. orbital abscess d. orbital cellulitis e. cavernous sinus thrombosis
TM ORBITAL COMPLICATIONS OF SINUSITIS § Proptosis – anterior and lateral displacement of globe § Impairment of extraocular movements § Loss of visual acuity § Chemosis – edema of conjunctiva

TM INITIAL MANAGEMENT OF ABS § Key Action Statement 3 A: Clinician should prescribe antibiotic therapy for ABS in children with severe onset or worsening course § Key Action Statement 3 B: Clinician should either prescribe antibiotic therapy OR offer additional outpatient observation for 3 days to children with persistent illness
TM INITIAL MANAGEMENT OF ABS Guidance for clinician regarding management of children with persistent symptoms: Antibiotic therapy – starting as soon as possible after the encounter Additional outpatient observation – for 3 days with plan to begin antibiotics if child does not improve or worsens at any time
TM INITIAL MANAGEMENT OF ABS § Contrasts with 2001 AAP guideline § Acknowledges that although ABS is a bacterial infection spontaneous resolution ~ common 10 days is a guideline; no likely harm in allowing up to 3 more days in persistent onset § Reinforces antibiotic treatment as soon as possible in severe or worsening illness
TM TREATMENT § Most patients , improve without antibiotic therapy § mild to moderate symptoms of <7 days' duration § facilitating sinus drainage, such as oral and topical decongestants, nasal saline lavage § in patients with a history of chronic sinusitis or allergies — nasal glucocorticoids. Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM ANTIBIOTICS § § not improve after 7 days more severe symptoms (regardless of duration) Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM ANTIBIOTICS Empirical therapy , S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae amoxicillin drug-resistant S. pneumoniae Up to 10% of patients do not respond to initial antimicrobial therapy § these patients should be considered for sinus aspiration and/or lavage § prophylactic antibiotics to prevent episodes of recurrent acute bacterial sinusitis is not recommended. § § Dr. Farzin khorvash
TM KEY ACTION STATEMENT 4 Clinicians should prescribe amoxicillin with or without clavulanate as first-line treatment when a decision has been made to initiate antibiotic treatment of ABS

TM RESPONSE TO APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT § Most patients with ABS who are treated with an appropriate antimicrobial agent respond promptly (within 48– 72 hours) § Worsening = progression of signs/symptoms § Failure to improve = not better or worse
TM KEY ACTION STATEMENT 5 B If worsening symptoms or failure to improve clinicians should change antibiotics or initiate antibiotics in child managed with observation
TM MANAGEMENT OF ABS AT 72 HOURS Whether or not antibiotics are used, a system must be in place to either add antibiotic or change the antibiotic if symptoms do not improve in 48– 72 hours
TM MANAGEMENT OF WORSENING OR NO IMPROVEMENT Initial Management Worse in 72 Hours No Improvement in 72 Hours Observation Amoxicillin + clavulanate Observation OR Initiate antibiotic Amoxicillin-clavulanate Observation OR Amoxicillin-clavulanate Clindamycin + cefixime OR Linezolid + cefixime OR Levofloxacin OR Cefuroxime, Cefdinir OR Cefpodoxime Amoxicillin-clavulanate OR Same choices as in preceding box

Acute Pharyngitis • Fewer than 25% of patients with sore throat have true pharyngitis. • Primarily seen in 5 -18 years old. Common in adult women.
Etiology A) Viral: Most common. Rhinovirus (most common). Symptoms usually last for 3 -5 days. B) Bacterial: Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS). Early detection can prevent complications like acute rheumatic fever and post streptococcal GN.
Signs and Symptoms • • • Absence of Cough Fever Sore throat Malaise Rhinorrhoea Classic triad of GABHS: High fever, tonsillar exhudates and ant. cervical lymphadenopathy. NO COUGH
Diagnosis • Physical Exam: Tonsillar exhudates, anterior cervical LAD • Rapid strep: Throat swab. Sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95%. Throat Cultures: Not required usually. Needed only when suspicion is high and rapid strep is negative.
