Abstract

Abstract We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 160 hospitalized children admitted for acute complicated sinusitis and compared children with S anginosus–associated infection to children with other or no pathogens identified. The incidence of S anginosus–associated infections increased 12% per year, and infections with S anginosus are associated with increased morbidity.
