Rhinosporidiosis is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, a pathogen currently considered a fungus-like parasite of the eukaryotic group Mesomycetozoea. It is usually a benign condition, with slow growth of polypoid lesions, with involvement of the nose, nasopharynx, or eyes. The clinical characteristics of a painless, friable, polypoid mass, usually unilateral, can guide the diagnosis, but the gold standard for diagnosis is histopathological findings. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies, and treatment approach for rhinosporidiosis.
类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌病是由类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌引起的,该病原体目前被认为是真核生物中粘体动物亚界的真菌样寄生虫。它通常是一种良性疾病,以息肉样病变的缓慢生长为特征,涉及鼻子、鼻咽部或眼睛。无疼痛、易碎、息肉样肿块的临床特征,通常为单侧,可指导诊断,但诊断的金标准是组织病理学发现。本文回顾了类鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌病的流行病学、病理生物学、临床表现、诊断策略和治疗方法。
