الوصف: Background: The immuno-compromised individuals have a high Incidence of fungal infections of the nose and the paranasal sinuses. There is a variation in the fungal species that manifest in different subset of individuals. The species and the susceptible individuals were studied in the Punjab population, to suggest measures to attain a better outcome.Methods: 50 subjects treated for paranasal fungal infection by rhinology division of the oto-rhino-laryngology services, Dayanand Medical College and hospital, Ludhiana, were analysed. The prospective study was carried out in a period of one and a half year (June 2009 to December 2010).Results: Mycotic infections was predominantly noted in the age group 51-60 years i.e. in 14 patients (28%) followed by 41-50 years, 13 cases (26%). There were 29 (58%) of males and 21 (42%) females with a male:female ratio of 1.4:1. Amongst 50 patients with mycotic infection, 19 (38%) were diabetic. All 15 (100%) patients with zygomycosis had underlying diabetes while only 4 (21%) with aspergillosis were diabetic.Conclusions: Zygomycosis occurs usually in diabetics, while in aspergillosis the underlying morbidity may or may not be diabetes. Timely medical treatment is essential to check diabetes and species identification to select the appropriate antifungal medication.
