Abstract
We used in situ hybridization for the detection of rhinovirus in maxillary sinus biopsy specimens obtained from 14 adult patients with acute sinusitis . In 7 specimens, rhinovirus RNA could be demonstrated in the maxillary sin us epithelium, thereby confirming the etiology of rhinovirus and the clinic al suspicion of acute sinusitis.
