[Septicemia following maxillary sinusitis: a rare complication of nasotracheal intubation].
A case of septicaemia due to gram-negative bacilli secondary to maxillary sinusitis occurring is reported in a patient intubated through the nose. The search of a purulent nasal discharge and the portable X-ray film were important in establishing the diagnosis. Removing the tube and antibiotics usually give a prompt recovery.
