Fig. 2 A: Nair and Lund Mackay staging of the sinuses correlated to the pathogenic growth. Nair staging cumulates the anterior and posterior ethmoids and does not comprise the osteomeatal complex which is why this system operates with fewer sinuses. B: Nair and Lund Mackay staging of the sinuses correlated to the nonpathogenic growth. C: Nair and Lund Mackay staging of the sinuses correlated to no growth after culture.
