How To Treat Fungal Sinus Infection?
My husband has had sinus and allergy problems for over 20 years....has been to Mayo numerous times...seen various doctors and most recently an ENT. Last year, a sinus culture revealed a fungal infection in his sinuses. He also had a sinus scan a few weeks ago and the ENT said there was nothing shown on the scan and didn't seem concerned about the fungus. Is there a specialist who deals with fungal infections?

Tanks for posting your query to HCM.
ISolation of fungus from sinus culture is not confirmative as sinus infection .repeated isolation of same fungus is considered as infection because fungus is most common contaminant of clinical specimen . you need to undergo histopathological examination to confirm diagnosis .
You should contact to Infectious disease specialist or to a ENT specialist who will take care of your case .
