BACKGROUND

A healthy person has numerous defense mechanisms that protects against invasion of micro-organisms. These host defense mechanisms include natural barriers (i.e., skin), non-specific immunity (i.e., phagocytic cells) and specific immunity (i.e., antibodies). However, if the host defenses are defective or becomes disrupted, the micro-organisms may enter and affect various parts of the body. While infection may occur at any parts of the body, infection of the head is relatively common as the openings in the head (i.e., ear, nose and throat) directly connect the body to the outside world, and therefore, are often the first places affected by micro-organisms. Thus, optimal treatment of infective disorders affecting the ear, nose and throat requires use of treatment agents to kill the micro-organisms and preventative agents that block the spread of the infection.
