AB  - Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis is typically described as a condition involving nasal polyposis and eosinophilic mucin in which fungal hyphae are entrapped within enlarged sinus cavities, accompanied by an immune hypersensitivity response to fungi. There are rare reports in the pediatric literature. Early diagnosis and management with surgery represent the primary therapeutic approach, complemented by corticosteroid therapy and long-term follow-up to prevent relapse. In addition, novel biologic therapies have been investigated in recent years for the treatment of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. Here, we report the case of a child with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and summarize the literature review of data published.
