| Its incidence has been increasing steadily over the last decade. Common symptoms are runny nose, nasal congestion, loss of smell and headaches. Fungal growth was found in washings from the sinuses in 96% of patients with chronic sinusitis. As a result of the activation, the eosinophils released a product called MBP (Major Basic Protein) into the mucus which attacks and kills the fungus but is very irritating to the lining of the sinuses. Just as one person reacts to ragweed while another does not, reducing the overactivity of the immune system may lead to lower levels of eosinophils (or less activation thereof), less irritation, and fewer symptoms. During the acute phase, elimination of the common food allergens (milk, wheat, eggs, citrus, corn, peanuts) is indicated until a more definitive diagnosis can be made. Fungal spores (the reproductive part of the organism) become airborne like pollen. |
