Microarray Analysis of Sinus Samples From Patients With and Without Chronic Rhinosinusitis

NCT00683371 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2020-02-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Mucosal biopsies, endoscopically-guided brush samples of mucus, and a saline lavage taken from the maxillary sinuses of ten CRS patients undergoing sinus surgery are analyzed using three microarrays in order to detect bacteria, fungi and viruses. Ten control patients with normal sinuses will have the same samples taken. The hypothesis is that bacterial, fungal, and viral communities present in the maxillary sinus of patients with CRS are significantly different from those patients with healthy sinuses, and that microorganisms identified in patients with or without CRS will differ from previously published data obtained using other techniques.

Conditions

  • Maxillary Sinusitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Specimen collection

10 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis will have three specimens collected from the maxillary sinus during surgery. The sinus mucosa, sinus mucus and a saline lavage will be collected. The three samples will then be analyzed with microarrays looking for bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
