“This study aims to detecting the probability of M. pneumonia prevalence in sinusitis patients the study in rolled (178) patients had a history of respiratory infection. Were included (135) patients suffering from sinusitis disease and (43)Control group of patients had no radiological evidence of sinusitis disease. The range age in cases was (18–62) years with a mean of(40) years, in controls it was 18–51 years witha mean of(34.5).
Blood samples were examined for M. pneumonia antibodies IgG and IgM by enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Elevated antibody titers were found in (124) patients (80%), and in 31control (20%). Acute and previous immunities “M. pneumonia IgM and IgG antibodies “ were observed in (17%) and (67.7%) of cases, and (2.5%) and (12.2%) of controls, respectively.
Finding demonstrate that the predominant M. pneumonia antibodies type “IgG, IgM” in sinusitis patients and symptoms like headache and fever. The study showed that the positivity rate of M.pneumoniae infection reach peak level in crowding index (+4) and (3–3.9) in both case and control.
