This paper is about sinus balloon dilatation in treatment of acute left sphenoid sinusitis with left impaired vision in a child. Balloon catheter dilatation (BCD) of the sinus ostia is a new technique. It has been shown to be a minimally invasive technique to manage chronic sinusitis. However, this method is rarely used in the treatment of acute sinusitis. So far, we know of no reported cases o...

Long-term outcomes (mean 38+/-17 months) were evaluated in 27 dogs with sinonasal aspergillosis after successful medical treatment using intranasal infusions of 1% or 2% enilconazole (1%, n=15; 2%, n=12). Long-term outcomes with both treatment protocols were good, with half of the dogs being asymptomatic throughout the follow-up period. The remaining dogs showed mild clinical signs compatible w...

Dry cough, dyspenea and diffuse centrilobular nodules in both lungs of radiologic findings similar to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) are rare initial presentation in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). CGD is remarkable for increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections as well as high sensitivity to inciting antigens such as Aspergillus species due to dysregulated inflammation...

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...

Aspergillus species are frequent causes of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients; they are also associated with allergic bronchopulmonary diseases, mycotic keratitis, otomycosis and nasal sinusitis. At least 30 Aspergillus species have been associated with human diseases, and A. fumigatus remains the most frequent cause of invasive Aspergillosis (IA) but recently in some inst...

Aspergillus nidulans is an important mold and a model system for the study of fungal cell biology. In addition, invasive A. nidulans pulmonary infections are common in humans with chronic granulomatous disease. The morphological and biochemical transition from dormant conidia into active, growing, filamentous hyphae requires the coordination of numerous biosynthetic, developmental, and metaboli...
