The purpose of these treatment guidelines is to provide recommendations for the diagnosis and optimal treatment of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS). The desired outcomes are (1) education for the clinician and patient (or patient’s family) about the differences between viral and bacterial rhinosinusitis; (2) reduction in the use of antibiotics for nonbacterial nasal/sinus infections; and (3) the use of appropriate antibiotics when bacterial disease is likely.
