Pathological Role of Biofilm in Fungal Rhinosinusitis
Hesham Yehia Falah;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: The first case of fungal sinusitis was reported in 1885. This fungal disease occurred rarely until the past decade, when a worldwide increase in its incidence occurred. Till one decade back bacteria was implicated as pathogen in most form of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Fungi were thought to be responsible for few specific forms, sine 1999, when ponikau and associates claimed that fungi were responsible for nearly all cases of CRS. Their study demonstrated the presence of fungi & eosinophils from nose & paranasal sinuses from ~96 % cases of CRS. Aim of the Work: The aim of the work was to detect the presence of fungal biofilm, in patients with fungal sinusitis trying to find its role in recurrence of fungal sinus infection, resistance to medical treatment and occurrence of intra orbital and intracranial complications.
