Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mycotic infection of the paranasal sinuses and Maxilla are on the rise globally. Since 1968 the number of reported cases has increased three fold of all the fungal infections. Aspergillosis is one of the most rapidly progressing and lethal form of fungal infection. Among all fungal infections, Aspergillosis is the commonest fungal infection in human beings especially in orofacial region. Its early medical and surgical treatment can improve survival. We report a case of invasive Aspergillosis of maxilla in a patient with diabetes mellitus who was managed by systemic as well local antifungal therapy, along with surgical debridement and followed by prosthetic rehabilitation.Entities:
