Fungal sinusitis is a type of sinus infection caused by the growth of fungi, and it can be quite different from the more common bacterial or viral sinus infections. Unlike bacterial or viral sinus infections, fungal sinusitis results from an overgrowth of fungi in the sinuses, often in people with weakened immune systems or chronic sinus conditions.
Understanding the different forms of fungal sinusitis and knowing when surgery might be needed can help you navigate this sometimes confusing condition.
