Proposed computed tomography severity index for the evaluation of invasive fungal sinusitis: Preliminary results.

Department of Biostatistics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi 110029, India.
Background: Invasive fungal sinusitis (IFS) can present as a mild disease to life-threatening infection. A recent surge in cases was seen due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Many patients require surgical debridement and hence imaging [contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the paranasal sinuses (PNS)] to document the extent of the disease.

Invasive aspergillosis is a rare but severe fungal infection primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals. The Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has introduced new complexities in managing aspergillosis due to the widespread use of corticosteroids for treating COVID-19-related respiratory distress, which can increase susceptibility to fungal infections. Here, we present a challenging case of progressive cerebral aspergillosis complicated by cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) in a 67-year-old male with a history of COVID-19.

We report a case of co-infection with Aspergillus fumigatus causing invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis and Trichophyton interdigitale tinea corporis in a returned traveler from flooded Sylhet region, Bangladesh. Anthropogenic climate change may lead to increased extreme weather-associated fungal infections. Travel to a flooded area should be considered a risk factor for fungal infection.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of voriconazole in terms of functional recovery and response on imaging in the management of invasive aspergillosis of orbit.
Methods: This was a prospective non-comparative interventional study Diagnosed cases of invasive orbital aspergillosis were studied in a tertiary care hospital. Intravenous voriconazole followed by oral treatment was given.

There have been no reports of the coexistence of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). The first case of ABPA with comorbid GPA that developed exophthalmos is reported. A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital for exophthalmos, fever, anorexia and weight loss.
