Abstract :

 

Aims 

1.To study the incidence of fungal infection in sinonasal polyposis.

2.To correlate clinical, microbiological and histopathological characteristics of nasal polyps. 

Material and Methods Prospective non–randomized cohort study was conducted in 60 patients with nasal polyps [unilateral or bilateral] and nasal deis along with tissues were examined for the presence of fungus.

Conclusion Incidence of fungal rhinosinusitis is on the rise in this era of antibiotics and diagnostic facilities.
