OBJECTIVE AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of the study was to define the true incidence of fungal elements in the nasal and sinus mucous in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with bilateral polyposis compared with normal controls-in an Egyptian African population-via mycological and histologic techniques. STUDY DESIGN: This study was conducted prospectively on 100 patients with the clinical diagnosis of CRS with bilateral nasal polyposis. Fifty volunteers with no history of nasal or paranasal sinus disease served as a control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The postulated criteria for the diagnosis of allergic fungal sinusitis were present in 92% of CRS with polyposis, suggesting that fungi are involved in the disease process of most CRS patients. |
