title: Nucleotide sequencing for diagnosis of sinusal infection by Schizophyllum commune, an uncommon pathogenic fungus.
abstract: Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycete fungus, is a rare cause of mycotic disease. We report here a case of sinusitis in a 35-year-old woman that underscores the value of molecular biology for the diagnosis of this fungal infection.
