Enterotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus (SA) can act as super-antigens and thus influence the course of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (NP). The aim of this study was to determine if antibiotic treatment administered after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for NP can positively influence the course of the disease compared to placebo. After ESS, 23 patients who tested positive, in a perioperative culture, for SA strains producing enterotoxins A-E and TSST-1, were randomized into two groups. Group A which in addition to standard treatment received oral anti-staphylococcal antibiotics for 3 weeks. Group B received a placebo. Both groups were compared preoperatively, and at 3 and 6 months after surgery using a symptom-specific score, an endoscopic score and the SNOT-22 quality of life questionnaire. Slightly better results were achieved in patients who received antibiotic therapy. However, the differences were not statistically significant. Regardless of post-operative treatment, approximately 30% of patients had a SA-negative culture 6 months after surgery.
