Information for Physicians

Not all sinus infections are the same.

     Acute Rhinosinusitis – a combination of
     two or more of the following symptoms
     lasting up to four weeks and typically caused 
     by bacterial infection:          

• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Stuffy nose
• Fever

     Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) – a chronic
     inflammatory disorder of the nasal and sinus
     passages.  CRS is generally resistant to
     therapy with antibiotics and glucocorticoids.

     Nasal Polyps – fleshy swellings or masses
     that develop in the lining of the nose. Polyps 
     can vary in size, shape and color and normally
     appear in both nostrils and grow in clusters.
