Allergic fungal sinusitis, a nasal and sinus disease, requires fungal allergy confirmation for diagnosis. Treatment involves surgery, steroids, and potentially immunotherapy, though its use requires further study.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Allergy Immunology
  • Mycology

Context:

  • Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is a distinct sinonasal disease.
  • Diagnosis and treatment of AFS have been debated since initial reports.
  • Recent diagnostic criteria offer high specificity for AFS.

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria for allergic fungal sinusitis.
  • To discuss current and potential treatment modalities for AFS.
  • To highlight areas needing further research in AFS management.

Summary:

  • AFS diagnosis hinges on confirmed allergy to fungal elements.
  • Effective treatment includes surgical sinus ventilation and corticosteroid therapy (oral and topical).
  • The role of immunotherapy in AFS management remains controversial and requires more research.
