Article information

An invasive sinusal mycosis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency is reported. The clinical course and causal agent (Chrysosporium tropicum) were both rather atypical. This fungus has been seldom isolated as a cause of nasosinusal infections. Just one more case like this is found when literature is reviewed. We emphasize importance of early diagnosis and treatment to reduce morbi-mortality.

Key words:
Invasive nasosinusal mycosis
Adquired immunodeficiency
Chrysosporium

Se presenta un caso de sinusitis fúngica invasiva en un paciente con inmunodeficiencia adquirida, algo atípico tanto en su evolución como en lo referente al agente causal. Se trata de Chrysosporium tropicum, hongo rara vez filiado hasta la fecha como causante de infecciones nasosinusales. Se ha revisado la literatura y se ha constatado que hay un solo caso publicado con un cuadro clínico similar al presentado. Destacamos la importancia de un diagnóstico precoz al igual que el tratamiento para la reducción de la morbimortalidad.

Palabras clave:
Micosis nasosinusal invasiva
Inmunodeficiencia adquirida
Chrysosporium
