Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / September 2005Amherst biotech firm to provide test for chronic sinus problem
http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050903/1025568.asp >http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050903/1025568.asp Interesting. Some interesting quotes: >Sinus treatment with anti-fungal agents has been in use, >but was controversial among doctors because of a lack > of scientific basis, according to NIAID. Right - lack of a scientific basis..... >Ponikau relocated to Buffalo to work with Dr. David A >. Sherris, a former Mayo colleague now at the University > at Buffalo. So is it now the "University of Buffalo Fungus Theory"? instead of the "Mayo Fungus theory?" Has Mayo moved on? >>http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050903/1025568.asp > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > So is it now the "University of Buffalo Fungus Theory"? instead of the "Mayo > Fungus theory?" Has Mayo moved on? I'd like to know what the treatment protocol is based on the outcome of the test. >>> http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050903/1025568.asp >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > I'd like to know what the treatment protocol is based on the outcome > of the test. Mayo's treatment protocol was surgery to open any blocked sinuses, followed by long-term treatment with antifungal irrigation. (The sinus cavities need to be open for the antifungals to reach in there.) Topical steroid sprays can be used in conjunction with the antifungal irrigation.  SignatureSteven D.

This is the press release from NIH 10-04. NIAID is part of NIH http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/oct2004/niaid-12a.htm Wouldn't be the first time the government contradicted itself.
