[Inflammatory diseases of the nose and nasal sinuses in children]

Albegger K, Huber EG.

Inflammatory diseases in childhood are quite different from those occurring in adults. The reasons are the special physiological, anatomical and immunological factors at the different stages of development. The different diagnostic possibilities (nasal swabs for virological and bacteriological examinations, X-ray, sonography, CT, endoscopy of the nose and paranasal sinuses) are discussed and the principles of the conservative and surgical therapy were demonstrated.
