ABSTRACT

Fungi are ubiquitous organism in our envirnoment. There is increasing number of reports of fungal infections of the nose and paranasal sinuses, due in part to increasing recognition of this condition in both healthy and immunologically depressed patients. The type of fungal disease evident in any particular patient result from a complex interplay of the environmental load, the status of the host’s immune system, and the local tissue conditions. Eight cases of fungal infections (six cases of aspergillosis and two cases of mucormycosis) of paranasal sinuses during a period of 2 and 1/2 years from January of 1991 to June of 1993 were analyzed.

Keywords: Fungal Infection; Paranasal Sinuses
