We report here a case of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis caused by Neosartorya hiratsukae. This fungus was never previously been isolated from any case with fungal rhinosinusitis. The identification of this agent was confirmed by comparing the nucleotide sequence of the ITS region of ribosomal DNA with that in the GenBank DNA database. Identification of N. hiratsukae on the basis of colony morphology and microscopic feature may be difficult due to similarities with a few Aspergillus species. Scanning electron microscopy or DNA sequence analysis is essential for the accurate identification.
我们在此报告一例由平冢新萨托菌引起的变应性真菌性鼻鼻窦炎病例。此前从未从任何真菌性鼻鼻窦炎病例中分离出这种真菌。通过将核糖体DNA的ITS区域核苷酸序列与GenBank DNA数据库中的序列进行比较，确认了该病原体的身份。由于与一些曲霉菌种相似，基于菌落形态和微观特征鉴定平冢新萨托菌可能会有困难。扫描电子显微镜或DNA序列分析对于准确鉴定至关重要。
