Based on the results of the study of adult patients with acute purulent rhinosinusitis (APRS), the correlation between the indicators of common blood analysis, the magnitude of endogenous intoxication and the severity of sinusitis on the visual analogue scale (VAS) are presented on the basis of the article. The correlations of the severity of individual symptoms and the degree of endogenous intoxication were determined by the leukocyte intoxication index of Ostrovsky (LIIO). Methods: 172 adult patients with acute purulent rhinosinusitis which was confirmed by punctures of sinuses. The parameters of the general blood analysis (level of leukocytes, ESS, LIIO) were studied in patients; quality of life and severity of individual symptoms based on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: correlation was established between the value of VAS and leukocytosis (html5-dom-document-internal-entity2-961-end = 0.37), between ESR and the severity of individual symptoms. The regularity of the influence of intoxication load was confirmed mainly on the manifestations of most symptoms of APRS and, accordingly, on the assessment of their severity by VAS, compared with the assessment of the general condition.
