Fungal sinusitis

Causes, types, symptoms, treatment & diagnosis

Most fungal sinus infections are non-invasive, i.e., the infection will  remain inside the sinus cavity only and doesn't spread to the tissues.

This infection hardly shows any symptoms and many times accidentally discovered in CT scans for other purposes.

In this type, fungus and bacteria live harmoniously, forming colonies with heavy metals and drainage systems in our sinus cavities. It seems unbelievable, but it is true.

Whenever the immunity goes on the downhill, it can convert into invasive.

Invasive Fungal Sinusitis

Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment of Invasive Fungal Sinusitis

Invasive fungal sinusitis is a rare infection that can seep into the tissues.

It is close to mucormycosis but doesn't spread at a rapid pace, so it is not that dangerous. But if left untreated for years, it can spread to the brain and kill the person.

In some rare cases, it spreads to the outer skin too.

This disease needs to be treated with antifungals only, even though it could take years to treat it. It doesn't need surgery except for a biopsy, as the disease progression is slow.

Fighting any infection can be executed using two methods.

It can kill a person in a few weeks by spreading to the brain if not treated.

It has been seen even in COVID-19 patients as the disease attacks the immunity system.

 

Most COVID-19 patients have underlying conditions that affect their immunity.
