Acute Sinusitis

The Infectious Disease Society of America suggests that immunocompromised patients take the COVID-19 prevention drug pemivibart as pre-exposure prophylaxis to help prevent severe COVID-19, according to new guidelines.

More than half of antibiotic prescriptions for acute sinusitis follow prescribing guidelines, but nearly one-third do not, and most prescriptions are given for too long a duration, according to a study.

Acute sinusitis is inflammation of mucosa lining of one or more paranasal sinuses. In children, most cases begin as a viral infection that extends from nasal mucosa (rhinitis) onto the mucosal lining of paranasal sinuses (sinusitis).
