title: HIV-related sinusitis: nothing to sniff at.
abstract: HIV-positive people are particularly susceptible to sinusitis, acute or chronic, and the severity of attacks increases as a person's CD4 count declines. Chronic sinusitis may, in fact, be an early manifestation of HIV infection and can even be asymptomatic. HIV-infected people should minimize the risks of contracting sinusitis by treating any minor respiratory infection as potentially significant and keeping tabs on allergies.
