Diagnosing and treating allergic fungal sinusitis is challenging. This study highlights key features and treatment approaches, combining surgery and corticosteroids for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) diagnosis and treatment are complex, with ongoing debate.
  • Increasing publications highlight the need for standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.

Observation:

  • Ten cases of AFS were analyzed, with a literature review to identify key features.
  • Six patients had isolated AFS; four had concurrent allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA).

Findings:

  • Combined endoscopic sinus surgery and corticosteroid therapy showed good to average results in nine out of ten patients.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires a comprehensive approach integrating clinical, radiological, histopathological, immunoallergological, and mycological criteria.

Implications:

  • Precise diagnosis of AFS is crucial to prevent complications and ensure effective management.
  • Further research is needed to optimize surgical techniques and corticosteroid regimens for AFS treatment.
