Article Synopsis
- Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a rare condition in kids, marked by an immune system reaction to fungi in the sinuses, leading to inflammation and thick mucus.
- In the U.S., AFRS is more common in younger kids, particularly African Americans, and those living in areas with high poverty or lacking insurance.
