鼻及鼻窦炎(rhinosinusitis)是最常见的慢性疾病之一,其发病率高达14%～16%,而且鼻及鼻窦炎所导致的直接及间接损失都很巨大,是一种负担很重的疾病[1]。由于鼻腔与鼻窦常常同时出现炎症反应,因而,目前多用鼻及鼻窦炎一词来取代过去使用的鼻窦炎一词。尽管仍有很多争议,但目前国内学者也多采用鼻及鼻窦炎一词。 Rhinosinusitis is one of the most common chronic diseases with a high incidence of 14% to 16%. Direct and indirect losses caused by rhinosinusitis and sinusitis are both significant and costly [1]. As the nasal cavity and the sinuses are often accompanied by inflammatory reactions, the term nasal and sinusitis is currently used to replace the term sinusitis used in the past. Although there are still many controversies, but at present domestic scholars also use more nasal and sinusitis.
