In the Russian Federation, 15 to 36% of patients admitted for treatment in ENT units are suffering from acute or chronic rhinosinusitis in the acute phase. [1] 10-20% of hospitalized patients with rhinosinusitis are in severe condition, while purulent-septic and intracranial complications are diagnosed in 3-5% of patients.
