Allergic fungal sinusitis: can we predict the recurrence?
At the present time, it is not possible to predict recurrence using parameters of age, sex, extent of disease, and serum IgE levels. Larger number of patients preferably in a prospective multicenter meta study are required to address this issue. Though use of systemic corticosteroid does not decrease the incidence of recurrence, it may delay the onset of recurrence and decrease the severity of recurrence.
Despite these limitations, the present study demonstrated that a temperamental construct NA significantly predicts brooding and reflection and these in turn predict depressive symptoms but not anxiety. Thus, NA, a temperamental construct, may be more related to anxiety rather than depression.
