  3. Clinical Observations Concerning AFRS

  4. Radiographic Characteristics:Bone Erosion • CT1 • Allergic mucin mucocele • Associated obstructive sinusitis • Heterogeneous appearance3 • Ca • Chelated Fe, Mn • Mukherji1 • Reviewed 45 AFRS CTs • Bone erosion - 20% • Nussenbaum, Marple2 • Reviewed 142 AFRS CTs • Bone erosion - 20% • Histology - 0/142 demonstrated invasion 1Radiology 1998; 207:417-22 2OtoHNS 2001;124:150-54 3Zinreich et al.Radiology 1988; 169:439-44.

  5. Clinical Presentation: Mucin • Mucin is the hallmark of the disease

  6. Allergic Mucin • Gross findings - indistinguishable from ABPA • Thick viscosity • Tan, black, green • Histology • Non-invasive fungus • Grocott • Giemsa • PAS • Eosiniphils • Charcot-Leyden Crx

  12. AFRS vs EFRS: Why the Difference? AFRS EFRS Patient selection Narrow Broad Definition of allergic mucin Gross Microscopic Incidence of atopy Near 100% Same as CRS Specificity vs sensitivity Too specific Too sensitive Marple, ARS Newsletter 2002;21

  13. Fungal Specific Humoral Response • Background • Literature to 2004: • Fungal allergy plays central role in pathogenesis of AFRS • Fungal specific IgE is a critical marker for AFRS • Inconsistent definitions for AFRS • Pant/Wormald • Sub-classified CRS in an attempt to better understand the role of humoral responses in the pathogenesis of the disease Pant H, Laryngoscope 2005;115:601-606.

  14. Fungal Specific Humoral Response • Design • 86 study subjects were enrolled • Sub-classified based upon following criteria • Presence of macroscopic eosinophilic mucin • Presence of fungal allergy • Histologic presence of fungi in eosinophiloc mucin • Cultures obtained from mucin • Serologic tests • Fungal specific IgE • Fungal specific IgG, IgM, IgA Pant H, Laryngoscope 2005;115:601-606.

  15. Fungal Specific Humoral Response • spIgE (Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus fumagatus) failed to differentiate • EMCRS from controls • Subsets within EMCRS • Culture results only partially matched those spIgE Pant H, Laryngoscope 2005;115:601-606

  16. Fungal Specific Humoral Response • Results • Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus fumigatus IgG3 marked the presence of EM (p=0.002, 0.004) • spIgG3 • Distinguished EMCRS from all other controls • May signify pathogenic significance of IgG3 Alternaria spIgG3 Pant H, Laryngoscope 2005;115:601-606

Invasive Fulminant Indolent Granulomatous Non-granulomatous Non-invasive Fungal Ball (Mycetoma) Saprophytic growth Eosinophilic Fungal Inflammation IgE – dependent fungal inflammation Classic AFRS Non IgE-dependent fungal rhinosinusitis Eosinophilic Fungal Rhinosinusitis (EFRS) Types of Fungal Sinusitis Meltzer, Hamilos, Hadley, Lanza, Marple, et. al. Rhinosinusitis: Establishing Definitions for Clinical Research and Patient Care JACI 2004;114:155-212.

  18. 2006: Role of Fungus and Allergy in AFRS • AFRS is a distinct clinical entity that exists as a subset of CRS and is strongly associated with • Fungus • Allergy • The central role of allergy in the pathogenesis of AFS is now in question • But IgE-mediated sensitivity remains important identifier • It is reasonable to direct therapy based upon the presence of allergy and fungus • Evidence-based data is limited

  19. AFRS: Treatment Antifungals • Surgery • Complete removal of fungal antigen • Tissue sparing • Immunomodulation • Perioperative steroids • Immunotherapy • Close follow-up • Saline irrigation • Office visits Fungus Surgery Irrigation Proliferation Antigen Exposure Decreased Drainage Decreased Ventilation Stasis (Mucin) AFS Immune Response IgE/non-IgE Mast Cell Degranulation Mucosal Edema Inflammation Immunotherapy Steroids Marple,Mabry, AJR 1998:12;263-268

  21. Complete extirpation of mucin Fungi stimulate inflammation Permanent drainage & ventilation Preserve mucosa “Complete, but conservative” Post-operative access Surveillance Irrigation Goals of Surgery Marple,Mabry, AJR 1998:12;263-268

  22. Postoperative Recidivism Bent - Near 100% recurrence in absence of medical treatment Kupferberg - 19/24 patients recurred after d/c of steroids Schubert - 67pts Steroids for >2 mo. - 35% recurrence @ 1yr Steroids for <2 mo. - 55% recurrence @ 1yr Marple, Mabry - 42pts Immunotherapy - 10% recurrence @ 12 - 37 mo.

  24. Immunotherapy for AFS: Theory • Originally contraindicated • Analogies to ABPA • Theoretically contraindicated in treatment of ABPA “because of the uncertainties involved”1 • Specific IgG production may elicit immune complex reaction (G&C III) • Ferguson2 - concluded no effect • 7 AFS patients • 2 responded (surgery) • 5 no response 1Middleton & Reed, pp.1395-1414, 1993. 2Ferguson, Abstract AAOA, 1993.

  25. Surgery Remove antigenic load! Allergic evaluation RAST (or skin test) 3 most relevant fungal antigens Non-fungal antigens Skin test (or RAST) for additional fungi Allergy treatment Treat for all positive reactors Do not treat only cultured fungus Treat non-fungal reactive antigens Could IT be used as a part of a comprehensive plan? Mabry, Marple, Mabry Oto-HNS 1999;121:252-4

  26. Cross-sectional study of 22 AFS pts 2 groups matched for preop severity of disease (CT&PE) Similar surgery 11 tx’d with IT 11 no IT Evaluation Regular exam and endoscopic staging (Kupferberg) Chronic Sinusitis Survey (Glichlick & Metson) Treatment of AFS: a comparison trial of postoperative IT with specific fungal antigens1 1Folker, Marple, Mabry, Mabry, Laryngoscope 108:1623-27, 1998

  27. Follow-up Overall mean f/u 33 mos. IT group Mean - 30 mos. Range - 12-43 mos. Non-IT group Mean - 35 mos. Range - 12-50 mos. Corticosteroids IT group Systemic - 0% Non-IT group Systemic - averaged 2 courses per year Treatment of AFS: a comparison trial of postoperative IT with specific fungal antigens1 1Folker, Marple, Mabry, Mabry, Laryngoscope 108:1623-27, 1998

  30. Treatment Principles I.Elimination of Fungal Antigen (Surgery) II. Control of Recurrence Immunomodulation Antifungal Rx IT Steroids Topical Systemic

  31. Concept originates from the treatment of ABPA Anti-inflammatory Immunomodulation Systemic Used in some form for all patients with AFS Topical Standard therapy No published evidence of effect in AFS Effect demonstrated in NP Corticosteroids: Rationale

  32. Bent1 Universal recurrence of AFS in following discontinuation of corticosteroids Schubert2 - 67 pts Corticosteroids < 2mo 55% recurrence at 1yr Shorter time to recurrence Higher total IgE Corticosteroids > 2mo 35% recurrence at 1yr Longer time to recurrence Lower total IgE Corticosteroids 1Bent, Kuhn, Allergy Asthma Proc 17:259-68, 1996 2Schubert, Goetz, J Allergy Clin Immun 103:395-402, 1998

  33. Treatment Principles I.Elimination of Fungal Antigen (Surgery) II. Control of Recurrence Immunomodulation Antifungal Rx IT Steroids Topical Systemic

  34. Systemic Antifungals • Denning • Use of itraconazole for ABPA • Decrease in total IgE • Decrease in systemic corticosteroid use • Ferguson • Limited available data • Potential drug related morbidity • Cost of treatment • Rains • Safety of itraconazole • Kennedy • Terbenifine offered no benefit to the treatment of CRS May limit usefulness of therapy 1Denning, et al, Chest 100:813-19, 1991 2Ferguson, Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 124:1174-77, 1998

  35. Systemic Antifungals • Alternate effect of antifungals • Kanda et.al • CD3/CD28 cells from atopic derm and controls • In vitro T-cell helper-1 (TH1) and T-cell helper-2 (TH2) cytokines studied in response to antimycotics • Results • Azole derivatives suppressed expression of IL-4 and IL-5 by reducing 3,5 cAMP signal Kanda N. Journal of Investigative Dermatology. 117(6):1635-46, 2001 Dec.

  36. Topical Antifungals • Test of fungal hypothesis • Methods • Double blind placebo controlled • 24 CRS subjects randomized • Ampho B irrigation - 10 • Saline control - 14 • Results • CT scores • SNOT – 20 – no sig change • Endoscopy (7/10, 5/14) • IL-5 – no sig change • Eosinophils – no sig change • Alternaria – no change • Conclusion – Ampho B works Ponikau, et al. JACI 2005;115:125-31.

  37. StratificationIssues • Alternaria • No change over 6 months • Does this support hypothesis? • Stratification Issues • Demographics • Inflammatory Mediators • EDN • IL-5 Ponikau, et al. JACI 2005;115:125-31

  38. Topical Antifungals • Test of fungal hypothesis • Methods • Double blind placebo controlled • 74 CRS subjects randomized • Ampho B spray • Saline control • Results • 60 completed the study • Conclusion – no effect • Controversy in delivery Weshta, et al. JACI 2004;113:1122-28.

  39. Recidivism after treatment Bent - Near 100% recurrence in absence of medical treatment Kupferberg - 19/24 patients recurred after d/c of steroids Schubert - 67pts Steroids for >2 mo. - 35% recurrence @ 1yr Steroids for <2 mo. - 55% recurrence @ 1yr Marple, Mabry - 42pts Immunotherapy - 10% recurrence @ 12 - 37 mo. Marple, Newcomer - 17pts followed 4 - 11yrs. 1/17 with recurrence of AFS No decrease in fungal IgE No difference in treatment arms Allergy Asthma Proc 1996;17:259-68, Oto-HNS 1997;117:35-41, J Allergy Clin Immunol1998;102:395-402, Am J Rhinology 2000;14:223-26 Oto-HNS: 2002 127(5) 361-6
