Major increases in the incidence of systemic fungal infections have been observed during the past three decades, particularly in immunocompromised patients. A critical need exists for new antifungal agents to treat these life-threatening invasive fungal infections. The review of the development of antifungal therapy provided in this chapter indicates the increased interest in this very special area of infectious diseases. Even though newer and less toxic antifungal agents are currently available for clinical use, innovative research in antifungal drug discovery may eventually produce more promising antifungal agents.

Noninvasive fungal sinusitis usually occurs in individuals with a poorly draining maxillary sinus. The infection can be cured by surgical removal of the hyphal mass. In contrast, allergic fungal sinusitis is an upper respiratory disease with an immunopathology similar to that of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Surgical debridement and therapy with topical or systemic steroids are recommended. Acute and chronic invasive fungal sinusitis are extremely serious infections requiring aggressive therapy, including extensive surgical debridement and appropriate antifungal chemotherapy. For acute invasive fungal sinusitis in the neutropenic host, survival depends chiefly on bone marrow recovery.
