Fungal Sinus and Colon Infections
Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 10:53 am
Has anybody been tested for a fungal sinus infection or has a fungal infection shown up on a CT scan?
I was reading these sites last night:

It seems possible that if you have an intestinal fungal infection (i.e. candida), it could spread to your sinuses. Also, if you've been treated with antibiotics and had your good bacteria wiped out then it could be possible for this fungal infection to take hold in moist and mucousal membranes.
Do you think my ENT would be able to test for this, it looks like it would be picked up on a CT scan, but I know alot of doctors have a hard time accepting fungal infections as a diagnosis. What do other people think?
