TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 30. Rhinosinusitis A1 - Clement, Peter A1 - Fisher, Brian T. A2 - Shah, Samir S. PY - 2009 T2 - Pediatric Practice: Infectious Disease AB - Rhinitis and sinusitis are frequently referred to as two separate and distinct disease processes. However, since the mucosa of the nasal cavity and sinuses are contiguous, rhinitis and sinusitis often coexist, making a distinction on clinical presentation difficult. Therefore, rhinosinusitis may serve as a more appropriate term1 to define a “group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses.”2 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=6905347 ER -
