TI  - IgE-mediated fungal allergy in allergic fungal sinusitis.
PG  - 1046-52
LID - 10.1002/lary.20170 [doi]
AB  - This review will address the current knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms in 
      allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) and the basis for the current classification of a 
      subgroup of chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Special attention is directed to the 
      role of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated fungal allergy in the pathogenesis of 
      AFS. Concepts relating to the mucosal inflammatory response are introduced, as a 
      knowledge of the reactions of the sinus mucosal cells can lead to a better 
      understanding of the mechanisms perpetuating and maintaining the chronic 
      inflammation. Laryngoscope, 2009.
