- Authors
Neff, Laura; Adil, Eelam A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of adenoid in pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Topics include a retrospective chart review by K.S. Shin and others which examined adenoid size and bacteriology in relation to pediatric CRS, a study by J. Coticchia and others which compared the surface area of adenoid tissue covered by a biofilm in patients who underwent adenoidectomy for obstructive sleep apnea and for CRS, and the evidence that bacteria within adenoid biofilms contribute to pediatric CRS.
