CLINICO–EPIDEMIO–RADIOLOGICAL STUDY OF CHRONIC RHINOSINUSITIS IN WESTERN MAHARASHTRA

Dr Devendra Jain

Abstract :

 Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects 1 in 8 people in India; about 5–15% of urban population. The prevalence of sinusitis (146/1000 population) has been reported to exceed that of any other chronic condition and is apparently on the increase. Sinusitis is a common health problem that leads to frequent visits to primary care physicians and to ear, nose and throat specialists in all over the world. It contributes to a significant amount of health care expenditure due to direct costs arising from physician visits and antibiotics, as well as indirect costs related to missed days at work and a general loss of productivity due to a decrease in life–quality of those affected.
