Aspergillosis, which was first discovered in late 19th century, is a relatively rare disease in the sinuses. In recent years, a number of invasive aspergillosis infections of the maxillary sinus in immunocompromised patients, as well as the non-invasive form of the disease, have been reported. They were caused by the materials used in endodontic treatment, like gutta-percha, antrolith and by foreign bodies. This paper reports a case of aspergillosis in the maxillary sinus of an immunocompromised patient. It is associated with a root fragment after a much earlier tooth extraction.
曲霉病于19世纪末首次被发现，是鼻窦中一种相对罕见的疾病。近年来，已有多例免疫功能低下患者上颌窦侵袭性曲霉病感染以及该疾病非侵袭性形式的报道。它们是由牙髓治疗中使用的材料，如牙胶、鼻窦结石以及异物引起的。本文报告了一例免疫功能低下患者上颌窦曲霉病病例。它与更早之前拔牙后残留的牙根碎片有关。
