Clinical Pearls
• When the routine history and physical examination are not
revealing, carefully watch how the patient walks and with
what pace while monitoring pulse rate and oxygen satura-
tion by pulse oximetry. This way the provider can get a
sense of the patient’s exercise capacity.
Don’t Miss This!
• Viral myocarditis may present with malaise, low-grade
fever, and nausea with little classical CHF symptoms; it can
be misdiagnosed as viral gastroenteritis, but the patient’s
general appearance is usually very ill and vital signs are
quite abnormal.
• Patients with angina may describe vague chest symptoms
as dyspnea on exertion. Careful attention to the symptoms
of chest tightness (which may or may not be typical
squeezing in nature), nausea, and diaphoresis is important
especially in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. If
acute coronary syndrome is deemed likely, patients would
be best evaluated in the emergency room.

Introduction

Sinusitis affects about one in seven people in the USA, and nearly always occurs with inflammation of the nasal mucosa [1].
The vast majority of the cases are viral in origin, and only a small percentage is bacterial. Most of the cases resolve with conservative treatment, and a few require antimicrobi­als [2].

The four sinus cavities and their locations are detailed below:
• Frontal sinuses: behind the forehead and part of the fron-
tal bones
• Maxillary sinuses: behind the cheek bone
• Ethmoid sinuses: behind the nasal passages
• Sphenoid sinuses: near the optic nerve and part of the
orbits (Fig.13.1)
Sinusitis occurs if obstruction or congestion blocks the paranasal sinus opening thereby causing mucus to build up in the chamber. This blockage allows bacteria and viruses to multiply leading to infection and inflammation.
Symptoms of sinusitis include the following:
• Thick nasal discharge
• Facial pain or pressure
• Fever
• Reduced sense of smell

Depending on how long these symptoms last, sinusitis is classified as acute, subacute, chronic, or recurrent [3, 4].
• Acute sinusitis: inflammation of sinuses lasting less than
4weeks.
• Subacute Sinusitis: inflammation and infection of the
sinuses lasting between 4 and 12weeks.
• Chronic sinusitis: infection of the sinuses lasting at least
12weeks or recurrence of infection.
• Recurrent sinusitis: four or more episodes of ARS/year
with interim symptom resolution.
Acute <4 weeks
Classification of sinusitis
Subacute 4-12 weeks
Chronic >12 weeks
Recurrent:4 or more episodes of ARS/year

Acute Sinusitis

Etiology of ARS [4, 5]:
• Ninety to ninety-eight percent of sinusitis is secondary to
viral infection. In the vast majority of cases, the cause is a
viral upper respiratory tract infection such as the common
cold.
• Bacterial sinusitis occurs in 0.5–2% of episodes of ARS.
The most common organisms are as follows:
• Streptococcus pneumoniae
• Haemophilus influenzae
• Moraxella
• Staph aureus
• Anaerobes
268
S. Khasnavis
• Other rare causes of ARS are fungi, allergies, or autoim-
mune reactions. Fungal rhinosinusitis, the majority of
which are Aspergillus, tend to occur in people who are
immunosuppressed.
ARS is divided into uncomplicated and complicated [3, 6]:
Uncomplicated: when infection and inflammation occur without extension beyond the paranasal sinuses.
Complicated: when infection extends beyond the parana­sal sinuses leading to involvement of surrounding structures and causing one of the following:
• Preseptal cellulitis
• Orbital cellulitis
• Subperiosteal abscess
• Meningitis
• Intracranial abscess, epidural abscess
• Osteomyelitis
• Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis

Chronic/Recurrent Sinusitis

Allergies and asthma are two of the conditions most commonly seen in patients with chronic or recurrent sinusitis. Seasonal allergies and rhinitis may cause blockage and predispose to sinusitis. The risk of sinusitis is higher with severe asthma. People with a combination of polyps in the nose and sensitivity to aspirin are at high risk for recurrent or chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis and recurrent sinusitis are also associated with disorders that weaken the immune system such as diabetes, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, and Wegener’s granulomatosis. Structural abnormalities of the nose such as polyps, enlarged adenoids, cleft palate, tumors, and deviated septum can lead to the block­age of nasal passages and mucous drainage. Some hospitalized patients with head injuries, nasal tubes, mechanical ventilators, and weakened immune systems are at higher risk for sinusitis.

Other medical conditions affecting sinuses include gastro­esophageal reflux, oral or intravenous steroid treatment, hypothyroidism, and Kartagener’s syndrome. Miscellaneous risk factors are dental problems, change in pressure while fly­ing, high altitudes, swimming, smoking, and air pollution.

Symptoms ofAcute Sinusitis
General symptoms of acute sinusitis (both viral and bacte­rial) [7] include the following:
• Purulent anterior and posterior nasal discharge
• Nasal congestion or obstruction
• Facial congestion, fullness and pain
• Anosmia
• Fever
• Headache
• Ear pain, pressure, and fullness
• Halitosis
• Dental pain
• Fatigue

S. Khasnavis
In general, viral sinusitis symptoms last 7–10days.
• Covid-19 infection may present with symptoms of acute
sinusitis. Overlapping symptoms can make it difficult to
determine the nature of infection. While both can cause
fever, headache, nasal congestion, and sore throat, there
are some differences between the two. Covid-19 causes
more of a dry cough and loss of taste and smell, typically
more respiratory symptoms, and fatigue.
Symptoms ofChronic Sinusitis
Symptoms of chronic sinusitis are more vague. The fever may be low grade or absent. The symptoms last at least 12weeks or are intermittent throughout the year [8, 9].

Physical Findings

Patient with sinusitis usually present with erythema, edema, or tenderness over the involved sinus [10].
• Maxillary sinusitis: The cheek is tender, or the patient may
present with jaw pain and tooth sensitivity.
• Frontal sinusitis: Pain on palpation of the forehead.
• Ethmoid sinusitis: Swelling and tenderness in the eyelids
and surrounding tissue.
• With any sinusitis the pain and tenderness may be found in
several locations. Purulent nasal discharge may be evident
on examination. Diffuse mucosal edema and inferior tur-
binate hypertrophy may be found.

Diagnosis

In the primary care setting, a thorough history and physical examination can provide reliable diagnosis of acute sinusitis [11]. Differentiation from common viral upper respiratory tract infection is important where nasal congestion is pre­dominant without head congestion and facial pains. The pres­ence of purulent secretions has the highest positive predictive value for clinically diagnosing sinusitis (Fig.13.2).
