| Core Tip |
This was a prospective study with 66 coronavirus disease 2019-positive patients in whom contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the paranasal sinuses was done for invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS). It aimed to propose a scoring system [computed tomography severity index (CTSI)] using CECT to describe the severity of IFS and correlate it with clinical outcomes. Disease was categorized as mild, moderate, and severe based on CTSI. A higher score correlated with slow response/non-response to treatment in our study. Thus, CTSI can help in the quantification of the disease burden, triaging patients, and response assessment. A higher score would alert the clinician to initiate aggressive treatment, as severe disease correlates with slow response/non-response to treatment. |
