Abstract

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.

[Systemic mycoses. Epidemiology, clinical aspects, diagnosis].

Systemic mycoses are serious, often life-threatening, infections that are encountered with increasing frequency in many countries. These infections are most often seen as a result of advanced medical treatment leading to profoundly immuno-suppressed patients. In Norway, most systemic mycoses are caused by Candida, followed by Aspergillus, Cryptococci and Mucorales. This paper deals with the pathogenetic and immunologic mechanisms underlying these infections. The different agents are described, and the various clinical manifestations. A discussion of the diagnosis of systemic mycoses is followed by some general considerations regarding treatment.
