Acute Haemophilus parainfluenzae bacterial sinusitis

Acute *Haemophilus parainfluenzae* bacterial sinusitis is an acute, localized infection of the paranasal sinus cavities caused specifically by the Gram-negative coccobacillus *Haemophilus parainfluenzae* Primarily affecting the upper respiratory tract in both pediatric and adult populations, the condition typically arises when mucosal inflammation—often initiated by a preceding viral respiratory illness or allergic rhinitis—impairs normal sinus ventilation and mucociliary clearance, allowing com...

Primarily affecting the upper respiratory tract in both pediatric and adult populations, the condition typically arises when mucosal inflammation—often initiated by a preceding viral respiratory illness or allergic rhinitis—impairs normal sinus ventilation and mucociliary clearance, allowing commensal or colonizing nasopharyngeal bacteria to proliferate Clinically, it manifests within a course of less than four weeks and is characterized by persistent nasal congestion, purulent rhinorrhea, facia...
