Sinus infections are caused by infections from a pathogenic microorganism (virus, bacterium, or fungus), which grows within a sinus and causes intermittent blockage of the sinus ostium.

Sinusitis is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose.

Sinusitis can be caused by infection, but also can be caused by allergies and chemical or particulate irritation of the sinuses.

Bacterial infection of the sinuses is suspected when facial pain, pus-like nasal discharge, and symptoms that persists for longer than a week and are not responding to over-the-counter nasal medications.
