Rhinosinusitis

摘要

Rhinosinusitis affects many people, and thus, it is a common presentation in primary care. Despite this fact, rhinosinusitis is often overlooked in undergraduate and postgraduate training. Management of rhinosinusitis places a significant burden on both primary and secondary care, with significant financial implications. This article aims to outline the classification, epidemiology, patho-physiology, clinical diagnosis and treatment of rhinosinusitis, in particular identifying red flag symptoms and indications for referral to secondary care.
