Abstract
A 26-year-old man who was suffering from aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses (the maxillary, followed by the ethmoid and sphnoid) was treated by the irrigation method of diluted amphotericin B solution from a counter opening of the inferior nasal meatus. This patient has not since experienced a recurrence for twenty months. In addition, a 42-year-old female and a 63-year-old female were suffering from an inflammation of the unilateral maxillary sinus. Later, a fungus ball was found to be stopped up in the ostium. After removing the fungus ball, the inflammation of the maxillary sinus was cured. Neither of the two females have since experienced any recurrence for almost two years.
