An 18–year– old girl complained of purulent nasal discharge


Situation: An 18–year– old girl complained of purulent nasal discharge, nasal congestion, pain in the cheek and upper teeth for last 10 days. A CT scan showed maxillary sinusitis.
Reaction: Remember to give macrolides.
Lesson: Make sure to remember that clarithromycin 500 mg twice–daily for 7 days is not only effective in maxillary sinusitis but also in other sinusitis.
