The National Health Interview survey in 2012, found that 12% of the total sample of 34,525 adults experienced sinusitis. Allergic rhinitis is one of the factors causing sinusitis due to bacterial infection of the sinus tract due to blockage of the sinus ostium and mucus that cannot be drained due to allergic reactions.
