Résumé
The indentification of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) is still controversial and much more recent than that of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). These two fungal respiratory diseases can be isolated or associated in a sinobronchial allergic mycosis. A retrospective study of a series of 15 cases of AFS fulfilling all the diagnostic criteria reported in the literature (eight isolated AFS and seven AFS associated with ABPA) and the review of the literature highlight the similarities between AFS and ABPA independently of the signs linked to the organs involved (sinuses, bronchi): pathophysiological mechanisms. immunoallergological, biological and mycological features, diagnostic procedure, treatment and follow-up. Therefore, AFS appears to be a sinonasal ABPA-like syndrome. (c) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. Tons droits reserves.
