a.Acute infection of the orbital contents most often caused by bacteria
b.Inflammation of the lacrimal canal
c.Infection of the lacrimal gland characterized by pain of the upper eyelid with erythema
d.Infection of the cornea

Answer 2

B

Question 3

What is the proper specimen for culture and identification of the agent of acute sinusitis?

A)Aspirated material that has been collected by puncture of the maxillary sinus
B)Drainage material found in the upper respiratory passages that has been collected with a swab
C)Coughed up sinus drainage collected in a sterile cup
D)Sinus drainage

Answer 3

A
In most cases,a diagnosis can be made on the basis of physical findings,history,radiographic studies,and other imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging.However,if a laboratory diagnosis is needed,then an otolaryngologist obtains the specimen from the maxillary sinus by puncture and aspiration or during surgery.Sinus drainage is unacceptable for smear or culture;such a specimen will be contaminated with aerobic and anaerobic normal respiratory flora.
