International consensus statement on rhinosinusitis

Length of symptoms not associated with ABRS. Clinical exam findings of secretions in the nasal cavity, posterior

pharynx, or middle meatus at 9

to 10 days associated with ABRS

Sinus tenderness, pressure, postnasal drainage, and

discolored nasal discharge were highly associated with ARS diagnosis

Paranasal mucosal abnormalities and occlusion of OMC are present early (2-3 days), and remain constant (9-10 days) during ARS/ABRS episode. There is a weak correlation between CT findings and symptom scores.
