Abstract

Rhinosporidiosis caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi is a fungal infection, which affects chiefly the mucus membranes of the nose, oropharynx, and nasopharynx, as well as the larynx, skin, eyes, and genital mucosa. Soil and water act as a reservoir for the organism. Here, we present a case of Rhinosporidiosis, which clinically manifested as a facial swelling indicating that fungal infections should also be considered as one of the differential diagnoses whenever facial swellings are encountered.

摘要

由西伯鼻孢子菌引起的鼻孢子虫病是一种真菌感染，主要影响鼻、口咽、鼻咽的黏膜，以及喉、皮肤、眼睛和生殖器黏膜。土壤和水是该病原体的储存宿主。在此，我们报告一例鼻孢子虫病病例，其临床表现为面部肿胀，提示每当遇到面部肿胀时，真菌感染也应被视为鉴别诊断之一。
