International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Apr 25, 2019
Nosetti L, et al. - The nasal cytology in 58 children of age 1-15 years was performed to analyze the importance of nasal inflammation in primary snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Researchers observed inflamed nasal mucous in 88% of children. In 31% of children with primary snoring and 41% with OSAS, infectious rhinitis was reported. They also found allergic rhinitis in 35% of kids with primary snoring as well as 6% with OSAS. In 34% of cases with OSAS and 19% of children with primary snoring, they noticed non-allergic rhinitis. Similar distribution of bacteria was noticed in primary snoring and OSAS children.
