Overall survival and prognostic factors in diabetic patients with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are susceptible to invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFRS). The mortality rate of IFRS varies greatly among the patients with DM.

Objective: To identify the prognostic factors for the overall survival of patients with DM and IFRS.

Predictive factors for invasive fungal rhinosinusitis in diabetic patients: Systematic review and data re-analysis.

This systematic review aims to identify prognostic factors for the overall survival of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (IFRS) in patients with diabetes using original data from the existing published articles. Systematic searches of Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were performed to include articles from 1988 to 2019 using the terms: "fung*" AND "rhinosinusitis" AND "invasive" AND "diabetes OR ketoacidosis". Data from 258 diabetic patients with IFRS (mean age 55.

Immune response to fungi in diabetic patients with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.

This article aims to review the literature regarding the immune response to fungi in diabetic patients with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Systematic searches of Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were performed to include articles from 1988 to 2019 which assessed 'immune response to fungi in normal host', 'immune deficiency in diabetes mellitus', or 'immune response to fungi in diabetic patients'. Fungal cell wall activated pattern recognition receptors, resulting in recruitment of innate immune cells and an adaptive immune response.
