“…Aspergilli can enter the host through alternative routes causing other serious biomaterial‐related biofilm infections, including catheters, joint replacements, cardiac pace makers, heart valves and breast augmentation implants (Rosenblatt & Pollock, ; Langer et al ., ; Escande et al ., ; Jeloka et al ., ). Aspergillus is also frequently associated with complex sinus infections, which in canines have been described as superficial mucosal fungal plaque (Grosjean & Weber, ; Day, ; Laury & Delgaudio, ; Sato et al ., ). The urinary tract, whilst less frequently associated with A. fumigatus , has been reported to support an aspergilloma (Lee, ; Muller et al ., ).…”

The biofilm phenotype is an increasingly important concept in mycological research. Recently, there has been a developing interest in whether Aspergillus species are truly able to form biofilms or not. Industrial mycologists have long been aware of biofilms and their benefit in fermentation processes, whereas clinically their role is uncertain. This review provides an update on the impact that Aspergillus biofilms have medically and industrially, and will discuss biofilm development, and our current understanding of its molecular basis. The role of exopolymeric substance and how this substance relates to antimicrobial recalcitrance will also be discussed.

“…According to these authors, the perforation of the maxillary sinus membrane with the dental procedures leads Aspergillus spores which are lack of lytic enzymes, to reach the sinus and cause the infection here (Guivarc'h et al, 2015;Urs et al, 2015;Harada et al, 2017). Different cases of aspergilloma associated with dental procedures such as dental implants, tooth extraction, root canal treatment and alveolar grafting have published in the literature previously (Sohn et al, 2009;Sato et al, 2010;Urs et al, 2015;Harada et al, 2017;). Harada et al (Harada et al, 2017) reported a case of aspergilloma associated with the migrated dental implant.…”

“…Aspergillus is a fungus commonly found in nature and also the most common fungal pathogen isolated from the paranasal sinuses (Khongkhunthian and Reichart, 2001;Harada et al, 2017). Aspergillus infection can have three clinical forms as non-invasive, invasive and allergic (Sato et al 2010). The non-invasive form of aspergillus, mostly seen in healthy individuals, is called as aspergillus mycetoma, aspergilloma or fungus ball (Khongkhunthian and Reichart, 2001).…”

Aspergillosis is a fungal infection mainly affects the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in maxillofacial region. Aspergillus infection can be seen in three clinical forms as non-invasive, invasive and allergic. The non-invasive form of aspergillus also called as aspergillus mycetoma, aspergilloma or fungus ball, commonly seen in healthy individuals. Maxillary sinus aspergilloma may occur after treatments of antral teeth. Although usually asymptomatic maxillary sinus aspergilloma in some instance may exhibit clinical symptoms such as swelling, purulent discharge, chronic sinus pain, nasal congestion, headache which are similar to the other sinus infections in symptomatic patients. This case report presents the diagnosis and surgical management of maxillary sinus aspergillus infection that occurs after tooth extraction.

“…[2][3][4][5] The organism being airborne, usually in the immunocompromised; AIDS or transplant patients on immunosuppressive drugs, and patients with prolonged neutropenia secondary to cytotoxic chemotherapies and maxillary bone implants are also at the highest risk of invasive aspergillosis. [1,5] A. fumigatus is by far the most common cause of human disease. Aspergillosis of the skin has however been reported in the immunocompetent patient.…”

Aspergillosis of the long bones has not been reported. Those of the bones of the paranasal sinuses and ear canal have been reported but rare. A young woman reported to us with history of discharging sinuses around the right knee and recent fracture of the right femur. Despite all efforts, she ended up losing the whole limb from the hip. When a patient with Aspergillosis of the long bones presents late, amputation may be the best option. Early diagnosis will prevent this.
