ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (CIFRS) and granulomatous invasive fungal sinusitis are two uncommon diseases differentiated primarily by the pathologic finding of non-caseating granulomas in GIFRS. Both share many similarities in presentation. We aim to characterize the symptomatology and outcomes of these diseases.METHODS:
A comprehensive search strategy was designed to identify studies in the Cochrane, EMBASE and PubMed databases from database inception to January 2022. Inclusion criteria included all patients with a diagnosis of either CIFRS or GIFRS. All studies were screened by two reviewers. Chi-square analyses were used where appropriate.RESULTS:
51 studies were included totaling 513 patients. The majority were diagnosed with CIFRS (389, 75.8 %) compared to GIFRS (124, 24.4 %). CIFRS was more common in immunocompromised or diabetic patients (p < 0.0001; p = 0.02). Patients with CIFRS were more likely to exhibit nasal symptoms including discharge (p = 0.0001), obstruction (p = 0.03) and congestion (p = 0.001) as well as systemic symptoms including fever, which no GIFRS patient exhibited, facial pain (p = 0.007), headache (p = 0.004). Aspergillus was the most common organism identified in both groups with a slight predominance among GIFRS patients (p = 0.01). GIFRS patients were also more likely to present with no identifiable organisms (p = 0.0006). CIFRS patients were more likely to die of disease (p = 0.0008).CONCLUSIONS:
CIFRS generally presents with more symptoms and is associated with poorer outcomes primarily occurring in an immunocompromised population. GIFRS likely follows a more insidious course in immunocompetent patients. Understanding the key differences in symptomatology and outcomes for these two populations is critical for appropriate diagnosis and prognostication.Palabras clave
