Systemic methylprednisolone as adjunct is effective in chronic rhinosinusitis

In a recent issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Ozturk et al assessed for the first time the effectiveness of oral methylprednisolone (MP) as an adjunct to antibiotics in the treatment of 48 children and adolescents with CRS without nasal polyposis in a double-blind placebo controlled study. Short-term oral MP seems to provide added benefit to treatment with antibiotics for children with CRS.
