Since 1969, 79 cases of fungal maxillary sinusitis have been diagnosed. Forty-nine were due to Aspergillus fumigatus. There were no underlying diseases which depressed cellular immunity and no patient was receiving immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids. Most patients had received antibacterial therapy before the appearance of FMS. Treatment was by surgery, nystatin and econazole.
Since 1969, 600 patients suffering from maxillary sinusitis have been systematically controlled clinically as well as mycologically. We discovered 81 cases of maxillary sinusitis (13,4%). Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans were the most frequently isolated fungi. Three clinical forms could be distinguished: (1) a muco-purulent form (35 cases); (2) a budding and/or caseous form (22 cases), and (3) a pseudotumoral form (24 cases). 42 patients treated with a 1% econazol (base) solution were healed.
Otomycosis is a relatively frequent disorder (21.7% of the cases of external otitis) of fungi origin. Otomycoses can be discriminated from bacterial otitis by the following symptoms: itching, absence of otalgy, discharge and negative response to different local antibiotic therapies. Our study involves 148 cases of otomycosis and their therapy. Recovery was obtained in approximately 10 days.
