| Abstract: | The main target of our study is to correlate the ratio of adenoid mucosa contaminated with bacterial biofilm in pediatric patients suffering of chronic rhinosinusitis (RSC) in comparison to pediatric patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We have estimated using s image analysis program the bacterial biofilm from the entire surface of the extracted adenoids, from 5 girls and 15 boys aged between 4 and 10 years; Adenoids extracted from pediatric patients diagnosed with CRS presented bacterial biofilms coating almost the entire mucosa (77.23% ), compared to 2.20% of bacterial biofilm coverage, at the pediatric patients with OSAS. The obtained difference is statistically significant. Polyps removed from patients with CSR have most of their mucosal covered with bacterial biofilm in comparison to the group with OSAS. In the nasopharynx of pediatric patients with CSR, bacterial biofilm can play the role of a chronic fountain of pathogens, adenoidectomy explains the symptomatic improvement observed in this group. |
