Abstract

Aspergillus peyronelii is an emerging and rare pathogen causing chronic rhinosinusitis with fungal nasal polyposis among immunocompetent individuals. Usual fungal aetiologies are Aspergillus spp, Mucor spp and Cladosporium spp, among which Aspergillus flavus being the most common in India. We present a case of 28-year-old woman with unilateral nasal obstruction with 15 years history of allergy, diagnosed as nasal polyposis, uncovered an uncommon pathogen A.peyronelii. Being a saprophytic and endophytic fungus, meticulously diagnostic approaches were employed for the precise identification. Further researches are needed to optimize diagnostic strategies and therapeutic intervention of this species.
