[Efficacy and safety of topical antibiotic therapy in patients with acute external bacterial otitis: results of a retrospective study].

Otitis externa is one of the most common diseases in otorhinolaryngological practice frequently requiring prescription of analgesic medications and antimicrobials. The total of 2714 patients were included in the retrospective study to evaluate bacterial etiology, effectiveness, and safety of topical empirical treatment of patients with diagnosed otitis externa during 2018-2023. The most common pathogens isolated were (38.

[Etiologic features of nosocomial sinusitis].

Unlabelled: The article presents a study of the qualitative and quantitative structure of etiologically significant microorganisms received from patients with nosocomial sinusitis from intensive care units of multiprofile and infectious diseases hospitals.

Objective: To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative composition of the causative agents of nosocomial sinusitis and their sensitivity to antibacterial chemotherapy drugs in modern conditions.

Material And Methods: During the period 2022-2023, we selected 45 patients from 6 ICU based on a multidisciplinary hospital and 11 patients from the ICU based on an infectious profile hospital, who were diagnosed with nosocomial sinusitis based on anamnesis, clinical picture, and computed tomography results.

[On the issue of the etiology of acute inflammatory pathology of the pharynx in children].

Objective: To compare the microbiota of the oropharynx in healthy children and children with acute tonsillitis and pharyngitis.

Material And Methods: The study included two groups of patients (139 people) aged from 1 year to 17 years inclusive. The main group consisted of children with acute tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis (111 patients, average age 7±4 years), the control group consisted of 28 healthy children (average age 7±6 years) without signs of upper respiratory tract infection.

[Modern pharmacotherapy of acute bacterial sinusitis: results of an open randomized clinical trial of the therapeutic equivalence of Cefixime EXPRESS and Suprax Solutab].

Background: Acute bacterial sinusitis is one of the most common causes of prescribing systemic antibacterial drugs in otorhinolaryngology. With bacterial etiology of the disease, beta-lactam antibiotics are prescribed, in particular cefixim. Cefixim in the form of dispersible tablets has high clinical and bacteriological efficiency, as well as good tolerability in patients with acute sinusitis.

[Efficacy and safety of topical combination therapy in patients with acute otitis externa].

Aim: To study the structure of the microbial landscape in patients with acute otitis externa, as well as to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combined drug chloramphenicol/clotrimazole/beclomethasone/lidocaine (Candibiotic) as an empirical therapy of this disease.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study of real clinical practice, outpatient records of 963 patients who applied to the KDO of the Sverzhevsky Research Clinical Institute of Otorhinolaryngology with symptoms of otitis externa in the period from 2017 to 2022 were selected. Additional analysis was carried out on the clinical records of patients who received the combined drug Candibiotic.
