Antimicrobials and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyposis in adults: an evidenced‐based review with recommendations

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The role of bacterial or fungal infection in CRS is unclear, yet antimicrobials are commonly prescribed for this condition. Published guidelines offer little direction regarding antibiotic strategies for CRS. The purpose of this article is to provide an evidence‐based approach to the use of antibacterial and antifungal antibiotics in the management of CRS.
