Sinusitis (sye-nuss-EYE-tiss) means inflammation of the sinuses or, more specifically, the lining of the sinuses. Inflammation of the sinuses means infection in the sinuses which causes frontal headaches and nasal discharge. There are two sinuses called maxillary sinus which are in the cheek bones and frontal sinus and para-nasal sinuses around the base of the nose. You may require antibiotics, nasal decongestants, antral washouts and sometimes surgery to treat difficult cases.
None to my knowledge. Even bacteria are susceptible to infection by viruses.
The sinuses: paranasal sinuses are a group of four paired air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity (maxillary sinuses), above the eyes (frontal sinuses), between the eyes (ethmoidal sinuses), and behind the ethmoids (sphenoidal sinuses).
The sinuses are paired air pockets located within the bones of the face. They are: the ethmoid sinuses; located between the eyes, just behind the bridge of the nose.
An inapparent infection occurs when a susceptible person is exposed to an agent, is consequently infected, but neverdevelops clinical symptoms (subclinical). An inapparent infection may result in immunity - but they may not develop immunity and could even become a carrier.In contrast, an exposed susceptible person may develop symptoms (clinical infection), but later enter a period where they no longer exhibit those symptoms. This person would be said to have a "latent infection". They have not recovered - they are still infected -- and they might start to exhibit clinical symptoms later.Exposed ---- Infected ------ no symptoms --------------------------------------> Resolution INAPPARENT INFECTIONExposed ---- Infected ----- symptoms ----no symptoms ---- symptoms ----> Resolution|< Latent Infection>|- Dominick A.

Yes, you can have inflammation in your sinuses without an infection. Other causes of inflammation include allergy and irritants.
Harmed by a particular thing: patients with liver disease may be susceptible to infection.
Glucocorticoids can make a person susceptible to infection when they are administered for too long as a drug.
because it have vitamin c in it, which goes down into the respiratory system and sticks to the walls of your lower intestines, fuming back up to your nose and making you feel as if you have an infection in your sinuses. :)
You can get oral thrush in your sinuses. Thrush is from a yeast infection and it can infect the sinuses and cause problems.
Sinusitis-is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which maybe due to infection.
Sinusitis is inflammation or infection of the lining of the paranasal sinuses. There are no sinuses in the nasal cavity itself, rather they surround the nose and are joined to the nasal cavity via small orifices called ostia.

People who have toxemia are often susceptible to infection because their immune systems are weakened
I'm just back from the doctors having been told I've an infection in my mastoid sinus, so yes.
It wouldn't necessarily be the earache that would cause the dizziness, nausea and fatigue but rather it is most likely the cause of the earache that is having this affect. It actually sounds like typical symptoms of congested sinuses and a sinus infection. You see the sinuses are connected to the ear via the eustaschian tube. When the sinuses are cognested they create pressure in the head that can cause blocked ears or earaches, and when there is a sinus infection you may eve develop an ear infection. The dizziness can also be due to the pressure that is being created in the head by the sinuses. The farigue is a sign that there is an infection because an infection runs down the immune system leaving your body tired and weak. It also seems possible that the person could have post nasal drip, because of the nausea symptom. You see post nasal drip often occurs when the sinuses are congested. Post nasal drip happens when you can't drain mucus through the nose because your nose or your sinuses are blocked. So the mucus is drained down the back of the throat.
