  abstract = {Fusarium causes a broad spectrum of human diseases which can be superficial, locally invasive or disseminated. In immuno-competent host, it causes allergic sinusitis or chronic non-invasive sinusitis while in immuno-compromised patients it causes invasive sinusitis. In this paper, the authors present a case of a 15-year-old boy who was admitted in the pediatric ward of PGIMER Dr. RML hospital, New Delhi, India with history of spontaneous erosion of dorsum of nose. Local examination showed complete erosion of dorsum of nose. The nasal debris was then sent to the Microbiology department for fungal culture and microscopy. On microscopic examination, branched septate hyphae were seen. The culture on Sabouraud’s Dextrose Agar (SDA) showed cottony white growth initially after 1 week of incubation and this growth later showed grayish pigmentation. The lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) mount of this growth showed septate hyphae along with typical hyaline, multi-septate, curved sickle shaped macroconidia. A tentative diagnosis of fungal sinusitis by Fusarium Spp. was done in this case.},
