ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction Actinomycosis of the nasal cavity is very rare. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features, treatment methods, and treatment results of actinomycosis of the nasal cavity in our hospital. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 11 patients with histopathologically identified actinomycosis of the nasal cavity from January 2010 to May 2020. Results This study included five males and six females. The most common symptom was purulent nasal discharge (36.4%). Nasal actinomycosis occurred in the maxillary sinus in 5 (45.5%) patients, the ethmoid sinus in two, the hard palate in two, the frontal sinus in one, and the nasal septum in one. After surgery, intravenous administration of antibiotics was performed on average for 7.4 days and oral antibiotics were prescribed for about 120.5 days. The clinical characteristics of the patients with nasal actinomycosis and the duration of antibiotic usage were not significantly different. Trauma was significantly associated with repeated nasal actinomycosis infections (p< 0.05). Conclusion Actinomycosis of the nasal cavity should be suspected when a patient with chronic sinusitis does not respond to medical therapy and has a history of dental treatment, local surgery or radiation therapy. Nasal can be sufficiently treated with antibiotics and endoscopic surgery.
RESUMO
Resumo Introdução A actinomicose da cavidade nasal é muito rara. Objetivo Investigar as características clínicas, os métodos de tratamento e os resultados do tratamento da actinomicose da cavidade nasal em nosso hospital. Método Foram incluídos retrospectivamente 11 pacientes com actinomicose da cavidade nasal identificada histopatologicamente de janeiro de 2010 a maio de 2020. Resultados Este estudo incluiu cinco homens e seis mulheres. O sintoma mais comum foi secreção nasal purulenta (36,4%). A actinomicose nasal ocorreu no seio maxilar em 5 (45,5%) pacientes, no seio etmoidal em dois, no palato duro em dois, no seio frontal em um e no septo nasal em um. Após a cirurgia, a administração intravenosa de antibióticos foi feita por uma média de 7,4 dias e antibióticos orais foram prescritos por cerca de 120,5 dias para esses pacientes. As características clínicas dos pacientes com actinomicose nasal e a duração do uso de antibióticos não foram significantemente diferentes. A presença de trauma foi significantemente associada a infecções repetidas por actinomicose nasal (p < 0,05). Conclusão A actinomicose da cavidade nasal deve ser suspeitada quando um paciente com sinusite crônica não responde a tratamento clínico e tem história de tratamento odontológico, cirurgia ou radioterapia. A actinomicose nasal pode ser adequadamente tratada com antibióticos e cirurgia endoscópica.
