Abstract Background Corona virus disease has been associated with a wide variety of fungal and bacterial co-infections. These secondary infections could be due to the irrational use antibiotics, immunosuppressive therapy, pre-existing co morbidities, immune modulator effects virus. But here, we report very rare occurring rhino-orbito-cerebral invasive sinusitis in malnourished child no other mo...

Several fungal species are known to cause severe respiratory and cutaneous diseases. The aim of this work was to analyze the fungal flora in maxillary sinuses in patients suffering from chronic sinusitis with polyps. Twenty five patients (11 woman, 14 man) who underwent endoscopic surgical procedures were included into the study. During the operation, the smear from the maxillary sinus were obt...

Background and Objectives One of the common causes chronic bacterial sinusitis is odontogenic infection, which has recently attracted attention many studies are being conducted. However, on relationship between fungal commonly encountered in clinical practice, still lacking. In this study, we investigated association sinusitis, infection dental implant.Subjects Method We retrospectively reviewe...

The prevalence of fungal rhinosinusitis has increased worldwide over the last two decades. Fungal rhinosinusitis includes a wide variety of infections, from relatively innocent to rapidly fatal processes. Fungal infection may be one of the most challenging forms of sinonasal pathology to manage, especially the invasive forms, which have high mortality rates. Therefore, it is essential to correc...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) rank second at chronic inflammatory diseases in industrialized countries and are an important public health concern. Diagnosis relies on a set of arguments including clinical signs, imaging, histopathologic and mycological analyses of sinus specimens, collected during nasal endoscopy. The sensitivity of fungal cultures is reported to be poor, even when direct examin...

Fungal Rhinosinusitis (FRS) is a relatively common, often misdiagnosed disease process of the paranasal sinuses [1-3]. The incidence of the disease is 37 million cases that encompass a wide spectrum of immune and pathological responses, including invasive, chronic granulomatous and allergic conditions. A recent attempt was made to classify the various types of fungal sinusitis [4]. The current ...

INTRODUCTION The complicated etiology of chronic sinusitis with polyps and frequent allergy to mould is established. AIM We aimed to investigate the frequency of the IgE-dependent hypersensitivity in this group of patients and prove the need of surgery in allergic chronic rhinosinusitis patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-two patients (19 females, 23 males) aged 34-73 years (55 ±12.6 years...

BACKGROUND Benign nasal and paranasal sinus masses are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Though benign, certain nasal polyps, fungal sinusitis, hemangiomas and fibro-osseous tumors can present with locally destructive features and deformities, mimicking malignancies at once. OBJECTIVE This study was carried out to recognize the great variety of benign nasal lesions and their frequenc...

INTRODUCTION Although fungal rhinosinusitis is a rare disorder but number of cases on record has increased manifold during the last decades worldwide There are two basic types of fungal rhinosinusitisinvasive and non-invasive. The invasive form may be of acute invasive and chronic invasive. The non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis can be of three typesfungus balls or mycetomas, saprophytic coloni...
