Being endemic in India and Sri Lanka, rhinosporidiosis is not much known in Africa where only few cases have been reported for the last 20 years. It is a chronic mycosis striking electively two target zones: nasal and conjunctival mucosae. Many features are still unknown about this pathogenic agent which belongs to the group of phycomycetes. But it has never been yet possible to cultivate it nor to inoculate it to animals. It has a cyclic development, well described by Ashworth. Its treatment is both surgical and medical (fungicides).
鼻孢子虫病在印度和斯里兰卡为地方病,在非洲却鲜为人知,过去20年仅报告了少数病例。它是一种慢性真菌病,主要侵袭两个目标区域:鼻黏膜和结膜黏膜。关于这种属于藻菌纲的病原体,仍有许多特征尚不为人所知。但至今仍无法对其进行培养或接种给动物。它具有阿什沃思所详细描述的周期性发育过程。其治疗包括手术治疗和药物治疗(使用杀真菌剂)。
