Presentation
Clinical description CGD can present at any age but is most commonly diagnosed before the age of 5 years. [orpha.net]
Diseases that can present in this manner include autoimmune vasculitis, sarcoidosis, indolent infections, neoplastic processes, and various other miscellaneous conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It may be present only during a specific season, or present year-round with or without periods of worsening. Mechanisms of allergic rhinitis Allergic rhinitis is defined by the presence of antibodies (IgE) which recognize certain allergens. [allerg.qc.ca]
However, HP as an initial presentation of CGD is uncommon and has never been reported. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Other symptoms at the time of presentation include severe nasal congestion/obstruction, sinus pain/pressure, headaches and facial numbness. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Excess gamma globulin in the blood (hypergammaglobulinemia), low levels of circulating red blood cells (anemia), an increase in white blood cells (leukocytosis) can occur as a result of repeated infections or chronic inflammation. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
Patients may also benefit from treatment of allergy with immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops) and antihistamines. Anti-fungal treatment is usually not required, as it is the reaction to the fungus that needs to be modulated. [care.american-rhinologic.org]

Medical Treatment In order to understand treatment, it is helpful to revisit the poison ivy analogy... [fauquierent.net]
Given the great amount of fungi exposures you have, remarkably few fungal infections require medical treatment. However fungal sinus disease does require medications and treatment and increasingly is recognized as a source of chronic sinusitis. [theasthmacenter.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis has greatly improved with the use of antibacterial and antifungal prophylaxis therapy, with most patients living well into adulthood. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Treatment and prognosis There is scarce evidence regarding optimal management and follow up in the literature. [radiopaedia.org]
Outlook and prognosis Nearly all patients survive with radical resection surgery and antifungal therapy, if the diagnosis is not made too late. [life-worldwide.org]
Some authors suggested that angioinvasion might be an independent variable that predicts a worse prognosis in chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. [aspergillus.org.uk]
What is the prognosis of sarcoidosis? The prognosis of sarcoidosis is generally very good. The prognosis ultimately depends on the location and severity of involvement with the sarcoid inflammation. [medicinenet.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane, with resultant nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and variable associated symptoms depending on etiology (eg, itching, sneezing, watery or purulent rhinorrhea, anosmia). [merckmanuals.com]
The etiology is an allergic reaction to pollen or fungal spores. Signs are seasonal and occur under warm, moist conditions; they include rhinorrhea, sneezing, and a sudden onset of dyspnea. [msdvetmanual.com]
Manifestation code identifies conditions for which it is important to record both the etiology and the symptom of the disease. [books.google.de]

Prevention
Videos: Choosing Wisely » CGD Treatment & Management The best treatment plan for CGD is to prevent infections from occurring. Special preventative antibiotics are a mainstay of treatment for CGD. These greatly reduce the chances of infection. [aaaai.org]
Treatment involves prophylactic antibiotics to prevent staphylococcal and fungal infections, and prompt prescription of antibiotics to treat infections. Administration of interferon gamma and bone marrow transplantation may be needed in severe cases. [columbiadoctors.org]
Prevention and treatment It is important to enact environmental control measures to avoid the allergens that are causing the problem (see the section on Respiratory allergens ). [allerg.qc.ca]
Management and treatment Antibacterial and antifungal prophylaxis is essential in preventing the infections seen in CGD. Lifelong daily doses of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (antibacterial) and itraconazole (anti-fungal) are recommended. [orpha.net]
Is it possible to prevent sarcoidosis? The cause of sarcoidosis still remains unknown, so there is at present no known way to prevent or cure this disease. However, doctors have had a great deal of experience in management of the illness. [medicinenet.com]
