Abstract
This study was planned to investigate the prevalence, diagnosis, treatment and the follow up of fungal sinusitis in patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. Five of 40 patients (12.5 %) were found to have fungal sinusitis and the clinical and mycologic findings of these patients were evaluated. Of these five patients, two were diagnosed as allergic fungal sinusitis, and one was diagnosed as fungus ball, while the other two were not classified. Aspergillus species were isolated in four patients, but there was no growth in one. These patients did well after the removal of infected tissues and drainage of sinuses by surgery, and there was no recurrence during the follow-up period.
Özet
Bu çalışma, kronik sinüzit ve nazal polipli olgularda mantar sinüzitlerinin prevalans, klinik-laboratuvar tanısı, tedavi ve izleminin ortaya konulması amacıyla yapıldı. Ameliyat edilen 40 olgunun beşinde (%12.5) mantar sinüziti saptandı. Bu olguların klinik ve mikolojik bulguları irdelendi. Olgulardan ikisi allerjik mantar sinüziti ve biri mantar topu olarak sınıflandırıldı, diğer iki olgu ise sınıflandırılamadı. Örneklerin dördünden Aspergillus türleri soyutlandı, bir örnekte ise üreme olmadı. Infekte dokuların cerrahi olarak çıkartılıp sinüs drenajının sağlanması sonucu olgularda iyileşme görüldü ve izlemde rekürrens saptanmadı.
