Summary
Chronic sinusitis is a common health issue in children, ranking among the top five upper respiratory tract infections. Current treatments are limited, possibly due to a lack of understanding about its cause. This study aims to explore the unique aspects of chronic sinusitis in children, suggesting it may be different from acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis in adults. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the microbiological features and immune system responses involved in the development of this disease. The study focuses on children with chronic sinusitis, comparing them with children having acute sinusitis, children without sinusitis, and adults with chronic sinusitis.
