ABSTRACT
Allergic fungal sinusitis can best be thought of as chronic fungal affectation (not an infection) of the sinuses to which the body's immune system hyperreacts, thereby creating significant inflammation, edema, obstruction, and polyposis. Currently it is felt that allergic fungal sinusitis requires both surgical and medical management. The effectiveness and required duration of the various medical treatments remain unknown and are under active investigation. Both surgical intervention and the use of systemic steroids are recommended in the treatment of allergic fungal sinusitis. Experience with surgical and medical management, follow-up of patients, and proposed treatment protocols are discussed.
