Brief Summary   A single centre prospective Randomised Clinical Trial for 18 months with the intention to compare the efficacy of two drug regimens: Oral Steroids in tapering doses and oral antibiotics versus oral steroids in tapering doses with oral itraconazole in 100 cases of Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis diagnosed on the basis of NCCT scan Nose Paranasal sinuses findings is planned. The patients with contraindications for steroid use, history of previous surgery, Samter’s triad, hepatic disease, drugs metabolised extensively by CYP3A4 are excluded. The treatment outcomes will be assesed pre and post 15 day treatment by using tools like NCCT nose PNS (Lund and Mackey radiological scoring system), nasal endoscopy (Kupferberg Endoscopic Scoring and Lund Kennedy scoring system), serum Total IgE levels, Sinonasal Outcome Test -22 score and Visual analogue scale scores.
