[Nasosinusal aspergillosis].
The paper reports about a bilateral maxillary sinusitis and a right pansinusitis of this unusual disease. The allergic polyposis present in the second case is probably due to fungus sensitization (as Katzenstein's case). None of them have had dental problems, not even foreign bodies inside of the sinuses (quoted from other AA.). The diagnosis must be confirmed by both the pathologist and the bacteriologist. The treatment is surgery plus antifungal drugs.
