Aspergillosis of the nose and paranasal sinuses. 1979

R A Jahrsdoerfer, and V S Ejercito, and M M Johns, and R W Cantrell, and J B Sydnor

Aspergillosis of the nose and paranasal sinuses should not be considered an innocuous disease. In a review of 103 cases, other than in the Sudan, the mortality rate was 16 per cent. Intracranial extension of the fungus from the nose and sinuses carries a grave prognosis. Although aspergillosis occurs frequently in patients debilitated from other diseases, this is not always the case, and most deaths in the review series occurred in otherwise healthy individuals. The authors present eight cases of their own.
