Although a variety of sites may be affected, the principal site of infection is the nasal mucosa, the disease is endemic in India and Sri Lanka, smaller series are also described from East Africa and parts of America, but it is very rare in Europe. The 116 cases seen in the Medical College at Bankura during January 1983 to December 1987 are presented here. The disease is more prevalant in males and in the second decade of life. Excision by diathermy knife and electrocautery of the base proved to be helpful to prevent recurrence.
鼻孢子虫病是一种由西伯鼻孢子菌引起的慢性肉芽肿性疾病。尽管多个部位可能受累，但主要感染部位是鼻黏膜。该疾病在印度和斯里兰卡为地方病，东非和美洲部分地区也有少量病例报道，但在欧洲极为罕见。本文介绍了1983年1月至1987年12月期间在班库拉医学院所见的116例病例。该疾病在男性中更为常见，发病高峰在第二个十年。用透热刀切除并对基底进行电灼有助于预防复发。
