Infectious Diseases and Microbiology - Rhinosporidiosis ( Rhinosporidium seeberi)
Rhinosporidium seeberi is the causative agent of rhinosporidiosis, which is linked to traumatizing vaccinations and diving. Fish are rhinosporidiosis's natural reservoir. The majority of instances are recorded from Sri Lanka and India. The formation of painless, pedunculated nasal polyps is a characteristic of rhinosporidiosis. The hallmarks of rhinosporidiosis lesions include an inflammatory cell infiltration, tissue necrosis, and the formation of abscesses. Large spherules and endospores are seen upon direct microscopic examination of removed tissue or nasal discharge in a KOH preparation. Amphotericin B injections locally or surgical excision are the two methods used to treat rhinosporidiosis.
