Recently, reports have surfaced in which saprobic fungi, as well as fungi pathogenic for plants, seem to be evolving as human pathogens. While the bulk of infected patients are immunocompromised, many individuals appear to be immunocompetent. To our knowledge, this is the second known published case of maxillary sinusitis caused by Curvularia lunata in an immunocompetent patient. An interesting feature of this case is that the patient was treated with only surgery (débridement and irrigation) with complete resolution and no recurrence.
最近，有报告称腐生真菌以及植物致病真菌似乎正在演变成人类病原体。虽然大多数感染患者免疫功能低下，但许多患者似乎免疫功能正常。据我们所知，这是第二例已知的由新月弯孢霉引起的免疫功能正常患者上颌窦炎的发表病例。该病例的一个有趣特征是，患者仅接受手术治疗（清创和冲洗），症状完全缓解且未复发。
