Overview

Systematic review shows antifungal therapy improves recovery in non-invasive fungal sinusitis, suggesting benefits for treatment.

Key Points

  • Antifungal therapy significantly lowers relapse rates and enhances total effective outcomes compared to controls.
  • Topical antifungal therapy showed a greater reduction in relapse rates compared to systemic therapy.
  • The analysis covered multiple databases and included various administration routes of antifungal agents.
  • Studies revealed limitations due to poor quality; future multicenter trials are essential for stronger evidence.
