Abstract

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a localized inflammatory, hypersensitivity reaction affecting the nasal cavity and its sinuses secondary to fungal colonization. The burden of surgical revisions and recurrence rates in this disease led to a recent hypothesized advancement in the medical management being experimented, which is the use of biologics. Therefore, this systematic review analyzed nine articles to highlight the significance of biologics in the management of AFRS through a comprehensive strategy, as seen in Supplementary Methods Section (1-9).
