Rhinosporidiosis is a rarely encountered granulomatous infection caused by affecting both humans and animals. Although the disease has been reported worldwide, it is mainly endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. In the Indian subcontinent, it is endemic in some parts like Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, eastern Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. It is a chronic granulomatous disease with varied controversial taxonomical history, but recently based on genetic sequencing and the nature of aquatics, it was later identified as an aquatic eukaryote. The mucous membranes are frequently impacted in humans, with a typical manifestation being the presence of a polypoidal mass. The occurrence of Rhinosporidiosis in nonendemic regions is uncommon. We report one such case of a young male with recurrent Rhinosporidiosis from India.
鼻孢子虫病是一种由 引起的罕见的肉芽肿性感染,可感染人类和动物。尽管该病已在全球范围内报道,但主要流行于热带和亚热带国家。在印度次大陆,它在奥里萨邦、泰米尔纳德邦、喀拉拉邦、中央邦东部和恰蒂斯加尔邦等一些地区流行。它是一种慢性肉芽肿性疾病,分类学历史存在多种争议,但最近基于基因测序和水生生物的性质,它后来被确定为一种水生真核生物。人类的黏膜经常受到影响,典型表现为出现息肉样肿物。鼻孢子虫病在非流行地区并不常见。我们报告了一例来自印度的患有复发性鼻孢子虫病的年轻男性病例。 (注:原文中“caused by ”后面缺少具体内容)
