Predictive ability of bedside nasal endoscopy to diagnose invasive fungal sinusitis in a pediatric population

All patients with IFS had concerning exam findings on endoscopy and were treated with immediate biopsies and debridement. No patient with normal or non-concerning findings on BNE progressed to have invasive fungal sinusitis. While suspicion for IFS in immunocompromised children must remain high, BNE is feasible and useful in its assessment.
