Nebulization of Antibiotics in Management of Sinusitis.
Chronic sinusitis with recurrent acute infections continues to be a significant medical problem. Even after aggressive medical and surgical management, some patients continue to have recurrent infections. These infections are often multidrug-resistant. Topical delivery of medications into body cavities has been practiced for decades. Recently, the use of prescription antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory topical medications has increased for sinus patients. This article examines emerging data on nebulized antimicrobials for patients with sinusitis.
