George Gkinis, Constantinos Mourouzis, Panayotis Dais, Aristea Velegraki and George Rallis

Fungal infections of the paranasal sinuses may occur in patients with chronic sinusitis, who usually have a predisposing cause such as neutropenia, prolonged use of corticosteroids, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, HIV infection. Occasionally it may also be seen in immunocompetent patients. The patient’s medical report and occupation seem to be very important information. The duration of the symptoms and the negative response to other medical treatment for sinusitis, show the fungal infection as the more likely diagnosis.
