Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the risk factors for fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) in patients with positive sinonasal cultures over a 9-year period in a continental climate.
- Out of 86 patients, the research identified three groups: invasive FRS (mainly in immunocompromised patients), fungal ball disease (mostly symptom-free in the elderly), and chronic rhinosinusitis with fungus.
- A potential new subgroup with nasal polyps and elevated IgE levels was noted, suggesting there might be a less severe type of allergic FRS in colder climates that is often underdiagnosed.
