Sinusitis of the Maxillary Antrum
Abstract
Twenty-four adults with clinical evidence of sinusitis were studied by 65 needle punctures of the maxillary antrum. Fourteen of 15 sinuses with normal transillumination and 19 of 26 that were dull had normal aspirates, whereas 24 of 24 that were opaque had abnormal aspirates (P less than 0.001). Marked mucosal thickening as determined radiologically (Water's view) was associated with abnormal aspirates whereas lesser mucosal thickening was not (P less than 0.001). In acute sinusitis, there was a strong correlation between high aspirate leukocyte counts (greater than 1000 per cubic millimeter) and infection as manifested by bacterial titers of greater than 10(5) per milliliter or the isolation of virus fungus (P greater than 0.001). Anterior-nasal-swab cultures correlated poorly with direct aspirate culters. Organisms frequently recovered from the sinus included Haemophilus influenzae, Strepto coccus pneumoniae, and anaerobic bacteria. Rhinovirus was recovered twice. Antibiotics were usedful in patients with acute sinusitis if the organism was sensitive in vitro (P less than 0.001).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
