Management of allergic fungal sinusitis with postoperative oral and nasal steroids: a controlled study.
    Ear, nose, & throat journal, 2009, Volume: 88, Issue:4

    In patients with allergic fungal sinusitis, the mainstay of treatment remains surgical removal of allergic mucin and fungal debris. But as a single modality, surgery is associated with high rates of recurrence, so a number of adjunctive medical modalities have been tried, including postoperative corticosteroid therapy. We conducted a study of 63 patients with allergic fungal sinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery with or without postoperative steroid therapy. A group of 30 patients who had been treated prior to January 2000 had undergone surgery only; their cases were reviewed retrospectively, and they served as historical controls. Another 33 patients who were treated after June 2000 underwent surgery plus oral and nasal steroid therapy. All patients were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Recurrences were seen in 50.0% (15/30) of the no-steroid group and 15.2% (5/33) of the steroid group-a statistically significant difference (p = 0.008). The results of our study strongly support the use of steroids to control allergic fungal sinusitis and prevent its recurrence, and we recommend further study to identify the optimal dosage and duration of therapy.

Relationship of airway wall thickness to airway sensitivity and airway reactivity in asthma.
    American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine, 2003, Oct-15, Volume: 168, Issue:8

    Airway wall thickening has been assumed to cause airway hyperresponsiveness, but a protective effect against airway narrowing has also been suggested. We investigated the relationship between airway wall thickness as assessed by helical computed tomography and two components of airway responsiveness, airway sensitivity and reactivity, in patients with stable asthma with (n = 23) and without (n = 22) inhaled steroid treatment. A cross-section of the apical bronchus of the right upper lobe was obtained. Airway wall area corrected by body surface area was measured as an index of wall thickness. Airway sensitivity and reactivity were measured by continuous inhalation of methacholine, on the basis of the methacholine respiratory resistance dose-response curve. The eosinophil count in sputum was determined in 16 patients [steroid (+) group] and 14 patients [steroid (-) group]. In both groups of patients, airway sensitivity was not related to airway reactivity. Airway sensitivity was related to eosinophil count [r = 0.57 in the steroid (+) group and r = 0.49 in the steroid (-) group], but not to airway wall thickness. In contrast, airway reactivity negatively correlated with airway wall thickness [r = -0.56 in the steroid (+) group and r = -0.55 in the steroid (-) group] but not with eosinophil count. Our results suggest that airway wall thickening attenuates airway reactivity in patients with asthma. These findings may have important implications in pathophysiology and in the treatment of airway remodeling.

Staging of chronic hyperplastic rhinosinusitis: treatment strategies.
    Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 1995, Volume: 112, Issue:2

    In 1990 we reported an initial prospective study of 100 patients using a four-stage system for classification of chronic rhinosinusitis. Between January 1988 and July 1992, we used this system in staging an additional 1814 patients, on whom 2980 intranasal sphenoethmoidectomies were performed. In this staging system a protocol trial of medication was given for 2 weeks, followed by axial and coronal computed tomography. Medication consisted of a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, usually cefuroxime; a 4-day burst of intraoral steroids, usually prednisone; and an antihistamine decongestant if not contraindicated. The stages of chronic hyperplastic rhinosinusitis included the stages described in the 1990 report (i.e., stage I, single-focus disease; stage II, discontiguous disease throughout the ethmoid labyrinth; stage III, diffuse disease responsive to medication; and stage IV, diffuse disease unresponsive to or poorly responsive to medication). The results of this study have shown that the computed tomography staging system based on computed tomography extent of disease after medical therapy is a simple, easily remembered, and very effective modality for the classification of chronic sinusitis. This system provides a rationale for discussing and planning surgery with patients and physicians and is a convenient reference for the reporting of end results. More importantly, a linear relationship between disease stage and outcomes is demonstrated. This statistically highly significant feature of the staging system provides a firm basis for the production of outcomes after various treatment strategies, particularly ethmoidectomy and the treatment of sinusitis.
