ABSTRACT
Allergic fungal sinusitis is a recently reported disease of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Since the first reports by Lamb et al and Katzenstein there has been controversy about its diagnosis and treatment. Recently diagnostic criteria have been suggested. To our judgement they have a high degree of specificity. Allergy to fungi elements is essential. Currently surgical treatment consist in an adequate ventilation of the nose and paranasal sinuses followed by the use of oral and topical steroids. Immunotherapy is controversial and more prospective studies are needed to evaluate its possible use.
