title: Mycotic sinusitis: a management protocol.
abstract: There has been a recent increase in reported cases of fungal sinusitis. This may be due to better awareness and improved histopathological methods as well as increasing numbers of immunologically compromised patients. We present a case of mycotic sinusitis in an immunocompetent individual to emphasize the clinical features of this disease. The pathology and microbiology are analyzed and a management protocol is discussed.
