Chronic Invasive Fungal Sinusitis in an Immunocompetent Patient
Journal Title: Otolaryngology International - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Aspergillosis of the nasal and paranasal sinuses is a common opportunistic fungal infection in immunocompromised patients. However invasive variant in normal hosts is a very rare occurrence. We report a case of invasive aspergillosis involving the maxillary sinus in an immunocompetent patient. The patient underwent endoscopic clearance followed by antifungal therapy.
