[Bacteriological analysis of chronic sinusitis in school-age children (36 cases report)].
OBJECTIVE
To research the bacteriological characters of chronic sinusitis in school-age children and to provide basis for clinical treatment.


METHODS
The purrent discharges taken from middle meatus of 36 patients were cultured for bacteria and the antimicrobial suscepility was determined.


RESULTS
The positive rate of bacteria culture was 83.3%, the compound infection rate was 36.1%. Aerobic bacteria were present in 76.7%, anaerobic bacteria were present in 55.6%. The result of antimicrobial susceptibility test was scattered.


CONCLUSIONS
Infection rate of anaerobic bacteria was high in chronic sinusitis in school-age children and result of antimicrobial susceptibility was scattered. It was important to have anti-anaerobic treatment in chronic sinusitis in school-age children and to take an antimicrobial susceptibility test before medical treatment.
