Rhinosporidiosis is an ailment of the mucous membranes provoked by a microorganism described by Seeber in 1900. It is found in Africa, South America, India, Ceylan, Phillipines and Iran. Rhinosporidium Seeberi provokes the appearance of sessile polyps, friable on the mucous membranes. The nasal mucous membrane is affected in 72% of the cases. The symptoms in otorhinolaryngology are in most cases mucous or mucopurulent rhinorrhea, chronic epistaxis and a progressive nasal obstruction. The etiologic diagnosis is based on clinic, on the examination of rhinorrhea and especially on histopathological examination. In case of lesion at nasopharynx level rhinosporidiosis must be differentiated from inflammatory or parasitic lesions, from embryonic or malignant tumour. Prognosis is generally favourable, the treatment is mainly surgical.
鼻孢子虫病是一种由西贝尔于1900年描述的微生物引发的黏膜疾病。它见于非洲、南美洲、印度、锡兰、菲律宾和伊朗。西伯鼻孢子虫可引发无柄息肉，这些息肉在黏膜上质地脆弱。72%的病例中鼻黏膜会受到影响。耳鼻喉科症状在大多数情况下为黏液性或黏液脓性鼻漏、慢性鼻出血和进行性鼻塞。病因诊断基于临床症状、鼻漏检查，尤其是组织病理学检查。在鼻咽部发生病变的情况下，鼻孢子虫病必须与炎性或寄生性病变、胚胎性或恶性肿瘤相鉴别。预后一般良好，治疗主要是手术治疗。
