BACKGROUND
Sinonasal pathology is nearly universal in the cystic fibrosis (CF) population. The bacteriology of sinus cultures from CF patients and the implications of sinus bacterial pathogens in this group have been studied; however, sinus fungal isolates from CF patients have not been examined in the literature.
METHODS
We reviewed 30 consecutive CF patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery at our institution for the presence of fungal isolates obtained from the sinuses at the time of surgery.
RESULTS
Thirty-three percent of fungal cultures were positive in this sample; in addition, two patients were newly diagnosed with allergic fungal sinusitis.
CONCLUSION
We examine the possible implications of positive fungal sinus cultures in the CF population.
背景
鼻窦病变在囊性纤维化（CF）患者群体中几乎普遍存在。CF患者鼻窦培养物的细菌学以及该群体中鼻窦细菌病原体的影响已得到研究；然而，CF患者的鼻窦真菌分离株在文献中尚未得到研究。
方法
我们回顾了在我们机构接受内镜鼻窦手术的30例连续CF患者，以确定手术时从鼻窦获得的真菌分离株的存在情况。
结果
该样本中33%的真菌培养呈阳性；此外，两名患者被新诊断为变应性真菌性鼻窦炎。
结论
我们研究了CF患者群体中真菌性鼻窦培养阳性的可能影响。
