I read with interest Mainz et al’s article in the February issue of your journal.1 The authors concluded that sinonasal inhalation of vibrating antibiotic aerosols appears promising for reducing pathogen colonization of paranasal sinuses and for control of symptoms in patients with cystic fibrosis. We have an objection to their study methods.
