Abstract (english)
Allergies and bacterial colonization are frequently found in patients with chronic rhinosinuitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). The aim of this study was to identify patients with allergy and present microorganisms in ethmoid sinus among the patients with refractory CRSwNP undergoing surgical treatment at the University Hospital Centre Osijek, and to compare their life quality, defined by SNOT-20 analysis (sinonasal outcome test) to the rest of patients, and a con- trol group consisting of patients undergoing septoplasty but free of allergy and/or CRS. An additional aim was to iden- tify specific types and strains of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) found in these patients, in order to compare them to other reports, and to revise the empirical antimicrobial therapy. In this paper we demonstrate a high incidence of bacte- rial colonization (83.3%) among CRSwNP patients. As in previous studies, gram positive aerobes were the most fre- quently isolated bacteria and all of them were covered by specific antibiotics given before the specimen collection. Allergy was found in only 20% of these patients, who presented with a reduced quality of life when compared to the control group and CRSwNP without allergy. Significantly more frequent dominant symptoms in these patients were cough, frustration and irritation. In the line with this finding is the objective assessment by endoscopy (Malm score) that showed more prominent nasal polyposis in allergy patients.
Abstract (croatian)
Alergije i kolonizacija bakterijama se često pojavljuju kod bolesnika sa kroničnim rinosinuitisom i nosnom polipozom (CRSwNP). Cilj ove studije je bio identificirati pacijente koje boluju od alergije i/ili imaju patogene mikroorganizme u etmoidnom sinusu među pacijentima sa refraktornim CRSwNP, koji se podvrgavaju funkcionalnoj endoskopskoj sinusnoj kirurgiji u Kliničkom bolničkom centru Osijek. Uspoređivala se njihova kvaliteta života (definirana sa SNOT-20 analizom) sa ostalim pacijentima te sa kontrolnom skupinom koju su činili pacijenti podvrgnuti rekonstrukciji nosne pregrade, a koji nisu imali alergiju niti su bolovali od kroničnog rinosinuitisa. Drugi cilj ove studije je bio identifikacija specifične vrste i sojeva mikroorganizama (bakterija i gljivica) koje se nalaze u ovih pacijenata kako bi se usporedile sa učestalostima u drugim populacijama te preispitala učinkovitost empirijske antimikrobne terapije. U ovom članku prikazujemo visoku incidenciju bakterijske kolonizacije (83,3%) među pacijentima sa nosnom polipozom. Sukladno prijašnjim istraživanjima, gram pozitivni aerobi su bili najčešće izolirane bakterije i sve su bile pokrivene specifičnim antibioticima, ordiniranim prije skupljanja uzoraka. Alergija je bila prisutna u 20% CRSwNP pacijenata te je kod njih nađena značajno smanjena kvaliteta života u usporedbi sa kontrolnom grupom i grupom nosne polipoze bez alergije. Značajno učestaliji dominantni simptomi u ovih pacijenta su bili kašalj, frustracija i iritacija. Sukladno ovim rezultatima je i objektivni endoskopski nalaz po Malmu koji pokazuje značajno naglašeniju nosnu polipozu u pacijenata sa alergijom.
