An extremely rare case of fungal Mastoiditis in an unimmunocompromised adult male - a case report

Abstract

Fungal mastoiditis is a extremely very rare entity in an immunocompetent adult male. This condition is very    difficult to diagnose and treat. Management consists of  mastoidectomy to eliminate the localised fungal growth and disease clearance followed by antifungal therapy and to  detect and control of underlying cause or change of living or working environment. eventhough, previously reported cases of fungal mastoiditis in different fungal species, we report an extremely rare case of penicillium marneffei fungal mastoiditis in a unimmununocompromised individual.
