Comparison of Steroid and Itraconazole for Prevention of Recurrence in Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is due to the continuous exposure of fungal antigens to an atopic individual. Medical treatment following the surgery is the standard protocol often practiced for the treatment of AFRS.
