Abstrakt: The article presents the author's view on an article by H.C. Bucher and others related to use of antibiotics in acute bacterial rhinosinusitis that was previously published in the 2003 issue of the journal "Archives of Internal Medicine." The author was confused over the patient population that was described in the article. He assumed that these were the patients who started with classic signs of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), but whose prominent feature was the presence of acute rhinosinusitis. There was no information provided on time of onset of the URTI to development of the sinusitis or other symptoms.
