Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate Bacteriological characteristics in children with acute rhinosinusitis at the National Children's Hospital. Methods: A prospective sectional study was conducted 43 cases of acute rhinosinusitis diagnosed at the Department of Otolaryngology and Microbiology – Vietnam National Hospital of Pediatrics from July 2022 to April 2023. Result: The results showed that the mean age was 6.07±3.61, and the proportion of boys was higher than that of girls (65.1% and 34.9%). The positive proportion was 69.8% (30 patients). The most frequently detected bacteria were H influenzae 53.3%, M. catarrhalis (20,0%); S. pneumoniae and S.aureus (16,7%); there were no cases of anaerobic bacteria and P.aeruginosa. Conclusion: Bacterial Identification with culture media in acute rhinosinusitis in children helps clinicians guide appropriate antibiotic use for treatment
