Measurement of the level of sICAM1 in sinus aspirate to asses its role in chronic sinusitis and to correlate its level with bacterial growth as compared with controls . It is emerged from the results of the present investigation that the determination of sICAM1 level is of considerable importance in the laboratory diagnosis of chronic sinusitis . |
