变应性真菌性鼻窦炎（AFRS）在世界范围内均有分布。这项对美国20家耳鼻喉科诊所的调查证实，AFRS的发生率与所有其他诊断的鼻内镜手术相比存在差异。最高的发病率发生在田纳西州的孟菲斯，为23%，其他三个南方实践报告的频率至少为10%。在北方地区，频率范围为0 - 4%。与霉菌计数没有相关性，可能是因为相对于大多数手术部位的霉菌数据不完整。
Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) has a worldwide distribution. This survey of 20 otolaryngologic practices throughout the United States confirmed a variation in the frequency of AFRS relative to endoscopic sinus procedures performed for all other diagnoses. The highest incidence occurred in Memphis, Tennessee at 23%, with three other southern practices reporting a frequency of at least 10%. In the northern locations the frequency ranged from 0 to 4%. No correlation with mould counts was demonstrated, possibly because of incomplete mould data relative to most of the surgical locations.
