A brief survey for rhinosporidiosis in a South Indian village is presented. A total of 34 cases have been detected with a prevalence rate of 4.7%. This is found to be higher than all those reported already from India. A sex variation was noted in the incidence of this disease, which was quite differenat from all the earlier reports; the infection rate was higher in females than in males. More than one case has been detected in three families. Attempts to find any natural infection in the aquatic inhabitants such as snails, frogs, fishes and crabs found in the village pond have not been successful so far. One case of rhinosporidiosis in a cow in this endemic village was also recorded.
本文介绍了对印度南部一个村庄鼻孢子虫病的简要调查。共检测到34例病例，患病率为4.7%。这一患病率高于印度此前所有已报道的患病率。该疾病的发病率存在性别差异，这与所有早期报告均有很大不同；女性的感染率高于男性。在三个家庭中发现了不止一例病例。到目前为止，在村庄池塘中发现的水生生物如蜗牛、青蛙、鱼类和螃蟹中寻找任何自然感染源的尝试均未成功。在这个地方病流行村庄的一头母牛身上也记录到了一例鼻孢子虫病病例。
