Abstract
Acute bacterial sinusitis is one of the most common diseases in children, and 5-13% of patients with viral upper respiratory infection experience secondary bacterial sinusitis as a complication. Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is rarer than frontal, maxillary, and ethmoid sinusitis. However, it presents potentially devastating complications, such as cranial nerve involvement, brain abscess, and meningitis, owing to its anatomical location. Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) commonly causes acute bacterial sinusitis but rarely causes bacteremia, particularly in immunocompetent patients. We present a rare case of a 14-year-old boy with bacteremia due to isolated sphenoid sinusitis caused by NTHi.
