Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / August 2007President Bush Recovering From Acute Sinusitis
President Bush is reportedly recovering from a serious case of acute sinusitis which had spread to his inner ear (otitis media). http://www.imedinews.ge/en/news_read/56733 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/09/washington/09health.html?ref=us  SignatureSteven L.

Don't you love misprints/misinformation: he has serous otitis--fluid in the ears, the shorter article called it "serious" sinusitis. I also am interested that he has persistant vertigo....I have persistant vertigo and it can be a huge issue at times. Flying for me is always a challenge: how not to get a sinus infection--I would imaginge his constant flying doesn't help with his sinusitis, and the vertigo--which is usually persistant after a viral labrinthitis--there was a NEJM article about 3 years ago documenting that vertigo/imbalance will persist after viral labrinthitis as the semi-circular canal is permanently destroyed, and a burst of steroids can help reduce the problem. The editorial was "Dizzy in Donagal" about a physician who remained slightly dizzy for years after his labrinthitis.

Lyme disease; the man is routinely bitten by ticks and quite likely these are all sequelae of that. Vertigo, chronic sinusitis, ear infections are all common with chronic tick borne infections after borrelia modify/down regulate host immunity to make themselves at home.

If the bird flu hits carry an N 95 mask.

I have a MUCH better approach: If I'm stuck with sitting next to someone with obvious cold/flu symptoms, I simply refuse to sit down in my assigned seat. The flight crew can't push off from the jetway until all the passengers are seated. If I keep doing that long enough, eventually either they find another passenger willing to switch seats with me or they kick me off the plane. Either way, I don't end up sitting next to anybody with germs. SignatureSteven L. Email: sdlitvin@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me. Don't tell me you've been kicked off a plane???
