AB Acute  rhinosinusitis  results  from  an  impairment  of  mucociliary  clearance  and  subsequent  inflammation  of  the  paranasal  sinuses,  due  to  infection,  allergies,  or  mechanical  obstruction.  Sinusitis  typically  occurs  in  conjunction  with  inflammation  of  the  nasal  mucosa.  The  most  common  etiology  is  a  viral  infection;  most  bacterial  cases  are  associated  with  antecedent  viral  upper  respiratory  tract  infection.
