Type I: A persistent low-grade infection with periodic flare-ups of acute sinusitis.
These people are always sick to some degree. It may have been months, and in most cases years, since they've been healthy or completely normal.
Type II: Recurrent or repeated sinus infections (acute sinusitis)
These people suffer at least three or more infections within a six-month period. They usually have most of the symptoms I've already described for each episode of acute sinusitis. However, they often do not have a cold before their sinus infection begins.
Type III: Chronic inflammation with little or no infection
These people are not nearly as sick or uncomfortable as those with 1 and 2. They have chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes lining their nose and sinuses with infrequent (one or two per year) or no infections at all. Inflammation involves pain, swelling, and increased secretions from the mucous membrane, but without the causative agents of bacteria, viruses, or fungi that are present with infection.
