sinusitis/vomiting

Gastroesophageal reflux is considered a risk factor for recurrent or persistent upper and lower respiratory tract conditions including asthma, chronic cough, sinusitis, laryngitis, serous otitis and paroxysmal laryngospasm. Fifty-one subjects with recurrent (more than three) episodes of upper

OBJECTIVE Cefditoren pivoxil (CDT) has been used in the treatment of rhinosinusitis. However, little is known about the efficacy of this drug at low and high doses. This study was to compare the efficacy and safety of low dose (8-12 mg/kg/day) and high dose (16-20 mg/kg/day) CDT in the treatment of

BACKGROUND Patients with intracranial complications of sinusitis present a major challenge to all, physicians, otorhinolaryngologists and neurosurgeons, because the purulent collection can be in areas that are not easily accessible like the interhemispheric and subfrontal areas of the brain and

Over a 17 year period, 1975-91, 10 children were managed who had sinusitis-induced subdural or extradural empyema. Their ages ranged from 6 to 14 years, with a mean of 11 years. All presented with worsening headaches, fever, vomiting, all had neurological abnormalities, and all had symptoms or signs

BACKGROUND Chronic cough in children is a common problem, and sinusitis is a common etiology. The diagnosis of sinusitis is often clinical, but confirmation is thought to require a CT scan due to the difficulty of interpreting a Water's view sinus X-ray. OBJECTIVE The purposes of the study were (1)

Accurate and complete safety data are indispensable for the proper evaluation of the benefit-to-harm ratio of medical interventions. We evaluated whether a systematic review and meta-analysis of standardized safety data is feasible by requesting information on side effects directly from the

In this multicentre, multinational, comparative, double-blind clinical trial, outpatients with both clinical signs and symptoms and radiographic evidence of acute sinusitis were randomly assigned to receive for 7 days either a twice-daily oral regimen of faropenem daloxate (300 mg) or a twice daily

In this retrospective case series, we describe the clinical features and microbiology of 16 previously healthy children with suppurative intracranial complications of sinusitis. Most cases were male adolescents who presented with vomiting in addition to typical sinusitis symptoms. Neurologic signs

The bacteriological and clinical efficacy and the safety of gatifloxacin for the treatment of non-complicated acute rhinosinusitis was evaluated in 49 adult patients in an open-label multicenter study in Brazil. Patients under age 18, or with associated systemic diseases, were excluded. Diagnosis

In this comparative trial, outpatients with acute sinusitis were randomly assigned to receive levofloxacin (500 mg orally once daily) or amoxicillin-clavulanate (500/125 mg orally 3 times daily) for 10 to 14 days. The success rates (cured and improved) 2 to 5 days after the end of treatment were

127 outpatients, 78 with acute purulent sinusitis and 49 with acute tonsillitis, were treated for 7 days with a benzylpyrimidine -sulphonamide combination. In this double-blind and randomized study 59 patients received co- tetroxazine (100 mg tetroxoprim and 250 mg sulphadiazine) b.i.d., whilst the

OBJECTIVE This study aims to define symptoms and etiology and determine how to prevent chronic rhinosinusitis in children. METHODS Between February 2003 and February 2005, 50 pediatric patients (25 girls and 25 boys; mean age 8.22 years; range 4 to 14 years) with chronic rhinosinusitis were included

A case of balloon frontal sinuplasty in a 12-year old male with intracranial abscess from acute sinusitis is presented. The patient experienced photophobia, fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. Frontal sinusitis with intracranial abscess was diagnosed on imaging. The patient was taken to the

A 15-year-old man was admitted because of diplopia and bilateral ptosis which occurred a few days after initial clinical signs, such as fever up, nausea, vomiting and headache. His pupils were anisocoric (Rt. phi 3.5 mm < Lt. phi 6.0 mm). In his left eye, light reflex was absent and its movements
