Bacteriological analysis of nasal secretions in patients with nasal lymphoma / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the etiological characteristics of nasal bacterial infection in patients with nasal lymphoma. Methods:The results of bacterial culture of nasal secretions from 39 healthy people and 86 patients with nasal lymphoma in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the differences in nasal bacteria distribution between nasal lymphoma and healthy people were analyzed and compared. Results:Corynebacterium（38.90%） was the most common bacteria in the nasal cavity of healthy people, followed by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus（31.95%）, Staphylococcus epidermidis（15.28%） and Staphylococcus aureus（6.95%）. The most common bacteria in nasal lymphoma patients was Staphylococcus aureus（30.37%）, followed by Corynebacterium（9.63%）, Staphylococcus epidermidis（7.41%） and coagulase negative Staphylococcus（6.67%）. A total of 81 nasal lymphoma patients were detected with bacteria, positive rate is as high as 94.19%（81/86）. Conclusion:Staphylococcus aureus is the main pathogenic bacteria in nasal secretion of patients with nasal lymphoma, which provides guiding significance for the clinical prevention and treatment of nasal lymphoma complicated with infection or not.
