Progression of chronic rhinosinusitis to invasive cerebro-orbital aspergillosis following steroid treatment: A case of induced immunosuppression

Invasive aspergillosis is a classic fungal infection of immunocompromised hosts which rarely manifests in immunocompetent patients. In this report, we present a case of invasive aspergillosis which resulted from induced immunosuppression through corticosteroid treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Fu...

description Invasive aspergillosis is a classic fungal infection of immunocompromised hosts which rarely manifests in immunocompetent patients. In this report, we present a case of invasive aspergillosis which resulted from induced immunosuppression through corticosteroid treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Further investigation is necessary into the epidemiology of mixed fungal rhinosinusitis and providers should be wary of invasive disease in those receiving chronic steroids.
