[size=4][b]Paranasal Sinus Anatomy - Bacterial Sinus Infection Symptoms - How to Get to Know of a Bacterial Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]About 32 million people are estimated to be suffering from chronic sinusitis. Millions of dollars are being spent on medications to get relief from sinus symptoms. Generally sinusitis is caused by allergies, cold or infections of the sinus area. Even though many over the counter sinus drugs are available it is better to seek medical advice for better treatment and prevention. The usual bacterial sinus infection symptoms are swelling in the area around the nose and blockage of sinus passages and headache.

Causes of bacterial sinus infection symptoms Polluted air, allergens, food allergy and smoke that block the nasal passages can cause sinusitis. A growth or tumor may cause the blockage which can be removed by surgery. Cocaine and such drugs taken through the nasal channels can also cause the infection. Sinus sprays can kill the bacteria and the microbes that cause the bacterial sinus infection symptoms. The sprays have the risk of becoming addictive. Lack of humidity can damage the small hairs called cilia in the nasal passage resulting in the mucus stagnating in that area and allowing bacteria to grow and start an infection. Whenever one reads any reading matter, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that the reading is complete.

[size=large][b]Bacterial Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]If sinusitis persists for less than a month it is acute sinusitis. If it continues for more than three months, it becomes chronic sinusitis. An insight of the sinus tract are caused by viruses. A few cases of infections are caused by bacteria also. Allergies and environmental irritations cause non infectious sinusitis. The patient may respond with over the counter medications or a longer course and in some cases need physical draining which requires hospitalization. Severe headache, red eyes or painful eyes or even double vision or temporary vision loss are some of the symptoms of acute sinusitis.

Why is it that some sinusitis sufferers do not respond to normal treatments, medications and surgical procedures and continue to come down with sinus infections regardless of the treatment they have been given? One answer to this question appears to be an atypical immune reaction to fungus, and topical anti-fungal therapies heave been developed by Mayo Clinic researchers. Another possible answer to this question has surfaced in the past couple of years: biofilms. This article is meant to be a brief introduction to biofilms and how they might be a factor in recurring sinus infections.

[size=large][b]Non-Medical Implications of Biofilms[/b][/size][hr]Biofilms are not just associated with medical conditions, however. In fact biofilms are ubiquitous and can form under the right conditions on almost any kind of surface, including metals, rock, and of course human tissue. Two common examples of biofilms are pond scum and dental plaque. Detrimental biofilms are the cause of billions of dollars in damaged products and equipment systems in such fields as food processing, water treatment and metal-working. The also cause damage by clogging household drains and water pipes. Their effects are not always harmful, however, for example when they attach to the roots of certain plants they seem to aid the transfer of nutrients from the soil to the plant. Also, they are used in sewage treatment facilities to help treat sewage water before it is released to the environment, and they are utilized in treating contaminated ground water as well. Big Grin.

Definition, Description and Medical Implications of Biofilms What are biofilms and how to they resist normal treatments for sinusitis such as antibiotics? 'Biofilms are composed of microbal communities that are attached to an environmental surface. The microorganisms usually encase themselves in an extra-cellular polysaccharide or slime matrix'. In other words, biofilms are a collection of bacteria and other microbes that encase themselves in a sort of slime. It is apparently the slime material that protects the bacteria from being destroyed by antibiotics, for example. Biofilms have been shown to play a major part in other medical conditions involving chronic infections, such as cystic fibrosis, Legionnaire's Disease, and otitis media, the most common type of acute ear infection in children in the U.S., among others. In addition, they can also form on medical implanted products such as stents, implants, catheters, and other devices. They appear to destroy cilia when present in sinusitis patients, and the loss of cilia is detrimental to the normal drainage system of nasal passages, so this is a serious issue since destroyed cilia cannot be replaced.
