Sinusitis is a common disease in childhood and puberty with significant morbidity and the potential for serious complications. There are two types of acute sinusitis: viral and bacterial. Viral sinusitis develops during a cold. Some children with certain predisposing diseases may develop forms of chronic sinusitis, which is usually not of infectious origin. Children and adolescents may have nonspecific symptoms: fever, nasal congestion, nasal secretion. Less common difficulties include bad breath, reduction sense of smell, and periorbital edema. Headaches and facial pain are rare in children. The most common symptoms are headache, tenderness in the facial area and a stuffy nose.

Neuropeptides are present within the nasal cavity and are thought to mediate inflammation in this region. The exact role these peptides might play in causing the inflammation present in chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis is not known. Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) was measured in the nasal secretion and nasal mucosa of 10 patients having chronic rhinosinusitis and 10 patients with nasal polyposis, using radioimmunoassay. These values were compared to ten controls without sinonasal disease. Additionally, each subject's history and baseline laboratory data were analyzed to establish the presence or absence of allergic disease. The results of these assays are discussed, as well as the potential pathophysiologic role that neuropeptides play in these disease states.

Currently, physical treatment methods, in particular use of photochromotherapy in the treatment of sinusitis, are of interest. Is to investigate the local effect of light in the visible range (450 nm) on the factors of local infection protection of the nasal mucosa. The study involved 50 patients with a diagnosis of acute rhinosinusitis at the age of 27.23±3.29 years. Exposure of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity was carried out in accordance with the parameters: 450 nm wavelength (monochromatic non-polarized blue light), during 5 minutes for each nostril. Sessions of photochromotherapy were carried out according to the "Sanitary norms and rules for the design and operation of lasers" No. 5804-91. Inclusion of photochromotherapy in the complex of therapeutic measures for patients with acute rhinosinusitis helps to reduce the total number of neutrophils in nasal secretion, normalize their lysosomal activity, NBT-reducing activity, activity and intensity of phagocytosis. Restoration of local immunity factors in nasal mucosa, expressed in normalizing the functional and metabolic status of neutrophil granulocytes of the nasal secretion, can serve as one of the criteria for the effectiveness of treatment using photochromotherapy
