Invasive Aspergillus flavus sinusitis in an immunocompetent patient using intranasal cocaine.

Invasive fungal sinusitis is a rare and potentially fatal infection that tends to occur in immunocompromised hosts. Presented is the case of a 33-year-old immunocompetent male with several months of recurrent facial and nasal pain refractory to several antibacterial courses before a diagnosis of invasive Aspergillus sinusitis was made. The patient's symptoms and infection were successfully treated with a combination of surgical debridement and voriconazole. The authors review the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of invasive fungal sinusitis due to Aspergillus.
