Zusammenfassung:Rhinosinusitis in the HIV-infected population is an increasingly common finding as HIV infection has transitioned toward becoming a chronic medical condition. In this patient population, rhinosinusitis may be challenging to diagnose and effectively treat. However, adequate diagnostic tools are available, microbial identity can be reasonably anticipated based on the CD4 count, and effective management strategies can be implemented. This article discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic options for HIV-infected patients with rhinosinusitis.
