Abstract
Fungi are being increasingly implicated in etio pathology of rhino sinusitis. Invasive fungal sinusitis occurring in diabetics and immunocompromised patients is notorious for its insidious onset, rapid intra cranial spread and tissue destruction. Candida as a cause of this invasive infection is infrequently reported in India. We report a rare species of Candida, Candida kefyr in a female diabetic patient presenting with invasive fungal sinusitis.Keywords
