Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis is a relatively newly characterized disease entity that commands a great deal of interest. Large amounts of information are being generated addressing the underlying etiology of the disease, its clinical presentation, and forms of treatment. Although controversy still exists, recent evidence supports the theory that AFRS represents an immunologic, rather than infectious, disease process. An improved understanding of this underlying disease process has led to an evolution in the treatment of AFRS.
变应性真菌性鼻-鼻窦炎是一种相对较新确定特征的疾病实体,引起了广泛关注。关于该疾病的潜在病因、临床表现及治疗方式,正产生大量信息。尽管仍存在争议,但近期证据支持变应性真菌性鼻-鼻窦炎代表一种免疫性而非感染性疾病过程的理论。对这一潜在疾病过程的进一步理解已导致变应性真菌性鼻-鼻窦炎治疗方法的演变。
