The authors present a case series of 54 subjects of Rhinosporidium. They were reported in two years at a tertiary care hospital of Western Orissa. The clinically diagnosed cases by ophthalmologists were confirmed by histopathological samples following surgery. In our series, we noted Rhinosporidium seeberi organisms as the main causative agent. Males were affected three times more than females. Children less than 10 years of age comprised more than 50% of our series. In 91% of cases, the conjunctiva was the site of this infection. Total excision of fungal mass was carried out in all cases and two cases had recurrence between 9 and 12 months following intervention. Although this is an endemic area for such infestation, unilateral manifestation observed in all cases is interesting to note. Low recurrence rate in limited follow-up period could be due to early detection and standard management.
作者报告了一系列54例鼻孢子虫病患者。这些病例是在西奥里萨邦一家三级护理医院两年内报告的。眼科医生临床诊断的病例经手术后的组织病理学样本确诊。在我们的系列病例中，我们发现西伯鼻孢子虫是主要病原体。男性受影响的人数是女性的三倍。10岁以下儿童占我们系列病例的50%以上。91%的病例中，结膜是感染部位。所有病例均进行了真菌肿块的完全切除，两例在干预后9至12个月复发。尽管这是此类感染的流行地区，但所有病例均为单侧表现，这一点值得注意。在有限的随访期内复发率较低可能是由于早期发现和规范治疗。
