Abstract

Rhinosinusitis (RS) affects the nose and the paranasal sinus and is characterized by nasal and systemic symptoms. It may be classified as acute or chronic, based on duration. Rhinosinusitis may be clinically suspected, but the diagnosis is usually based on the endoscopy. Antibiotic therapy is frequently used for RS patients in clinical practice. However, antibiotics often induce intestinal dysbiosis associated with some clinical problems and respiratory microbiota impairment. The current clinical experience was conducted in patients with pharyngotonsillitis and treated with antibiotics. A one-month course of a probiotic mixture (Abincol® containing Lactobacillus plantarum LP01 (1 billion of living cells), Lactobacillus lactis subspecies cremoris LLC02 (800 million living cells), and Lactobacillus delbrueckii LDD01 (200 million living cells), was prescribed in the Group A, and was compared with no addon treatment, such as the Group B. Patients were evaluated at baseline (T0), at the end of antibiotic treatment (T1), at the end of probiotic course (T2), and at the end of 3-month follow-up (T3).
