title: [Features of aspergillosis in ENT. Clinical features of aspergillosis in ENT (author's transl)].
abstract: Etiology, pathogenesis and clinical features of fungal diseases in ENT caused by Aspergillus are discussed. In this paper special stress is put upon the diagnosis and therapy of the Aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses and the ear. Out of a group of 65 patients with Aspergillosis of the nose and paranasal sinuses 25 were examined in detail. Two of them suffered from a malignancy, while the remainder of the group had been in general good health. It was remarkable, that many patients got into touch with domestic animals, garden mould and soil of ornamental plants. In X-ray 12 calcareous concrements were detected. In one case only histological signs of an invasion of Aspergillus could be demonstrated. Fungus infections of cavity of radical mastoidectomy and external ear were often seen and easily diagnosed because of their clinical appearance. In the last years we have neither observed Aspergillosis of the middle and inner ear, nor of the larynx.
