Abstract
Fifty patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis were included in our study. Antrat aspirate of chronically inflamed maxillary sinuses collected by antrat puncture were subjected to fungal culture. The study revealed the presence of fungi in 3 cases. Aspergillus fumigatus was isolated in 2 cases while Candida albicans was found in 1 case. The role of fungi, particularly aspergillus as pathogen is discussed in the context of antibiotics and immuno-suppressive therapy and local predisposing factors.Entities:
