ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the ethiological agent that produces acute bacterial sinusitis in patients that live in Mexico City from November 1999 to June 2000. Design: Prospective, open, experimental and transversal study. We culture the secretions that were obtained with a sterile aspirator (with guard) endoscopically directed from the middle meatus. Results: 29% of the cultures were negative. Positive cultures showed Moraxella as the most common bacterial agent followed by H Influenzae. Conclusions: The isolated bacteria’s in this study differ with those reported in other medical literature.
