Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Age > 18 years
Clinical diagnosis of acute rhinosinusitis with signs and symptoms present for >/= 5-7 days but < 28 days

Received an investigational drug in the past 30 days
Previously enrolled in this study
Unable to take oral medication
History of allergy to quinolone antibiotics or related compounds and beta-lactams
History of tendinopathy associated with quinolones
Known to have congenital or sporadic syndromes of QT interval corrected for rate (QTc) prolongation or receiving concomitant medication reported to increase the QTc interval (e.g. amiodarone, sotalol, disopyramide, quinidine, procainamide, terfenadine)
