AB The bacteriology of sinusitis in human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)-infected patients has been only sporadically reported. In this
study, we report the results of cultures taken from 12 HIV patients with
refractory chronic sinusitis who underwent surgery. Nine of the 12
patients had positive cultures with 16 isolates and 5 patients having
multiple isolates. Five of the 12 patients grew out atypical or
opportunistic infections not responsive to standard medical therapy,
including 3 patients with cytomegalovirus, 1 with Aspergillus fumigatus,
and 1 with Mycobacterium kansasii. These results suggest the need for
aggressive medical care for HIV-infected patients with sinusitis and
early intervention for tissue cultures in patients who do not respond to
standard antibiotic regimens.
