It is estimated that adults will experience 1 to 3 episodes of viral acute rhinosinusitis annually. Acute rhinosinusitis accounts for 2% to 10% of primary care and otolaryngology visits.[2]
Prevalence is slightly higher in females compared with males, and there is no clear ethnic predominance.[8][9]
