Abstract
Trace elements are indispensable for life and play an important role in the immunological system. Since it is believed that serum trace element values decrease in chronic infections, 43 patients with chronic sinusitis were evaluated for Zn, Mg and Cu levels. While all trace elements were found to be within normal ranges, Cu values were found to be significantly lower than in a control group of 20 age- and sex-matched volunteers. The reasons for this are unclear in the present study.
