Abstract
Lophomonas blattarum is a rare cause of paranasal sinus infections. The present study reports a case of ethmoidsinusitis of a Lophomonas parasite. A 45-year-old female patient who was followed up at the intensive care unit withthe diagnosis of meningitis was presented because of the rare occurrence of L. blattarum in the mucosal biopsyand culture specimens obtained from the left nasal passage on the detection of pansinusitis on control computedtomography. Complete recovery was observed after metronidazole was administered at 2 g/day for 25 days with nocomplications. Pansinusitis develops in patients followed up at the intensive care unit for various reasons. The mostcommon bacterial microorganism infections are caused by fungal and small parasites. Lophomonas blattarum, a flagellated parasite, should be considered in the etiology. Complete cure is achieved with medical treatment, and nocomplications are expected.
