New Developments in Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis Pathophysiology and Treatment

CONCLUSION: AFRS is an endotype of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) for which the molecular pathways leading to its inflammatory dysfunction are beginning to be illuminated. In addition to affecting treatment options, these understandings may shape necessary changes to diagnostic criteria and the extrapolated effects of environmental changes on AFRS. More critically, a better appreciation of fungi-driven inflammatory pathways may have implications for the understanding of broader CRS inflammation.PMID:36848273 | DOI:10.1177/19458924231152983
