Serum Aspergillus IgG antibody levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to identify independent predictors of extrasinonasal involvement. To evaluate the prognostic value of antibody monitoring, serial Aspergillus IgG levels were assessed, and their association with radiological remission was analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the 132 patients, 50 (37.9%) tested positive for Aspergillus IgG antibodies. Seropositivity was significantly higher among patients with extrasinonasal involvement than among those without such involvement (59.2% vs 8.9%; P &amp;lt; .001). Multivariable analysis identified positive serum Aspergillus IgG antibodies (odds ratio [OR] = 11.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.67\u201334.64, P &amp;lt; .001), sphenoid sinus involvement (OR = 4.72, 95% CI: 1.89\u201311.79, P &amp;lt; .001), and ethmoid sinus involvement (OR = 5.22, 95% CI: 1.53\u201317.86, P = .008) as independent predictors of extrasinonasal involvement. Serial antibody monitoring was conducted to evaluate treatment outcomes, revealed a significant decrease in Aspergillus IgG levels in the radiological and clinical remission groups after antifungal therapy (median = 16.12 NovaTec units [NTU]; interquartile range [IQR] = 12.87\u201321.96 vs median = 9.21 NTU; IQR = 6.52\u201313.23; P &amp;lt; .001).
