Acute Versus chronic Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis: A case-control study
Introduction: Invasive fungal rhinosinusitis is a challenging condition that can be found mostly in immunocompromised patients. Failure to diagnose and treat this entity promptly usually results in rapid progression and death. The purpose of this study was to determine clinical presentation, complication and morbidity in patients with acute versus chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Setting...
متن کاملPathologic Features of Non-Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis
The purposes of this study were to quanititate and correlate the findings of pathologic specimens and fungal culture in patients with a diagnosis of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. Seventeen patients were identified between 2003 and 2005 with noninvasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Surgical specimens were analyzed via routine and special pathologic processing and compared to the microbiological resu...
متن کاملImaging of Acute Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis in a Patient with Gorlin Syndrome and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
Gorlin Syndrome (GS), also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by developmental abnormalities and predisposition to certain neoplasms. Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) is an uncommon clinical entity characterized by high morbidity and mortality. In immunocompromised patients, computed tomography plays a critical role in...
متن کاملA novel fungus concentration-dependent rat model for acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis: an experimental study
BACKGROUND Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis is a lethal infectious process afflicting immunocompromised individuals. Knowledge about this disease is still limited due to the scarcity of animal models designed to study the pathogenesis of this infection. Mast cells are tissue-resident immune cells that participate in a variety of allergic and inflammatory conditions. Limited attention has be...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis
Background: Allergic fungal sinusitis is a non-invasive disease, and accounts for approximately 6-8% of all chronic sinusitis requiring surgical intervention. As the treatment and prognosis of these disorders vary significantly, it is extremely important to recognize allergic fugal sinusitis and differentiate it from chronic sinusitis of bacterial and fungal origin. This prospective study evalu...
