Hence, it is natural that the mucosa of the area is the victim of assault with multi-tudes of potential allergens. Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease with worldwide prevalence of 10-40%. Clinically allergic rhini-tis manifests as itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, congestion and itchy eyes. Allergic rhinitis is a disease with low mortality but significantly lowers the quality of life and functioning. Both oral and intranasal antihistamines are approved for the first-line treatment of aller-gic rhinitis and both formulations result in a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in quality of life. The following study was de-signed to assess the efficacy and safety of the azelastine nasal spray in comparison to levocetrizine in patients with allergic rhinitis. Out of the 68 patients, 34 cases were treated with topical azelastine (group A), while remain-ing 34 with systemic levocetrizine (group B). The effects of anti-allergic drugs have been studied on the basis of relief of symptoms and change in histopathology. Comparing the post therapy clinical and histopathological results in this study, azelastine nasal spray was found to be more effective and safe in the treatment of al-lergic rhinitis than levocetrizine.","PeriodicalId":322167,"journal":{"name":"Otolaryngology online journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116365228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"BACTERIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN RURAL AREA","authors":"M. Srivatsava, S. Tyagi","doi":"10.14260/JEMDS/2015/2221","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14260/JEMDS/2015/2221","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Middle ear infection is one of the most common condition in ENT practice, particularly in our country. Its significance lies in its chronicity and its dreaded complications like hearing loss and cholesteatoma. Chronic suppurative Otitis media and its complications are among the most common conditions seen by both the otologist and  pediatrician. Both gram positive and negative organisms are responsible for infection of the middle ear. Aims: The study was primarily carried out in 200 cases of C.S.O.M. to determine the bacteriological flora and to study the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the organisms isolated on culture from discharging ears. Results: In our study  Pseudomonas aeruginosa  was found to be the most common isolated bacteria (40.65% [100/246]), followed by  Staphylococcus aureus  (14.63% [36/246]), Klebsiella aerogenes (11.78% [29/246]) and Proteus Mirabilis  (10.56% [26/246]). Among the anerobic organisms Peptostreptococcus (5.69%) was the most common followed by Propionibacterium (4.06%) and  Bacteroids spp. (3.65%). Amikacin was the most effective antibiotic in the present study. It was effective against maximum number of strains 97 (95.48%) followed by Gentamycin 95 (92.36%) and Ciprofloxacin 93 (91.30%). Cefoperazone 88 (86.42%), Cefotaxime 78 (74.54%) and Ofloxacin 64 (62.68%). Conclusion: Efficient  and effective treatment of CSOM  is  based on the knowledge of causative micro-organisms and thus their antimicrobial sensitivity ensures proper clinical recovery and avoidance of the possible dreaded complications. It has been observed that human negligence is one of the main factor responsible for the development of antibiotic resistance. Along with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics by the treating physician the lack of compliance on part of the patient also results in emergence of resistance and thus in treatment failure. It has been frequently encountered that as  soon as the symptoms subside and improvement in condition occurs, many patients stop taking antibiotics before completion of therapy and allow partially resistant microbes to flourish and become completely resistant or even multi drug resistant.","PeriodicalId":322167,"journal":{"name":"Otolaryngology online journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128655436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
