Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) without fungus can mimic AFS. Patients with allergic mucin sinusitis were older, had asthma, and similar sinonasal issues as AFS patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Allergy Immunology

Background:

  • Allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is characterized by eosinophilic allergic mucin with fungal hyphae.
  • A subset of patients presents with similar symptoms but without identifiable fungal elements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a series of allergic mucin sinusitis cases without fungus.
  • To compare the clinical presentation of these cases with traditional AFS.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation.
  • Clinical data comparison between patients with and without fungal elements.

Main Results:

  • Four cases of allergic mucin sinusitis without fungus were identified.
  • Both groups exhibited nasal polyposis and prior sinonasal surgeries.

  • Patients with allergic mucin sinusitis were older and all had asthma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Allergic mucin sinusitis without fungus is a distinct entity.
    • Clinical presentation can overlap significantly with AFS.
    • Asthma and older age may be differentiating factors.
