description Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis has been well characterized clinically. We report about a patient diagnosed with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. Nasal cultures revealed a rare fungal pathogen, Aspergillus nidulans. At the time of initial presentation and later recurrence, another rare fungus was found. Trichoderma are unique and have been described in detail. This report describes unique pathogens causing allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. The relevant literature demonstrates the potential morbidity and mortality due to infections from such organisms, indicating the need for physicians to manage and treat this condition carefully to prevent potential complications.
