		Fungal nail infection is an infection of the nails by a fungus.
		Fungal nail infections may be difficult to treat and may become a reservoir for fungal organisms, causing them to return in the skin or nails.
		The fungal nail infection is cured by the growth of new, non-infected nails.

	FUNGAL SINUSITIS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Fungal sinusitis is often detected after the onset of an orbital complication or cranial nerve palsy and the sinus involvement seen on CT scan.
		Invasive fungal sinusitis can be distinguished from non-invasive disease with the use of clinical criteria, [2] radiological diagnosis of sinusitis and histopathological examination of tissues from sinuses.
		The diagnostic criteria for allergic fungal sinusitis consist of five features: radiologically confirmed sinusitis; the presence of allergic mucin within a sinus; the demonstration of fungal hyphae in the allergic mucin; the absence of fungal invasion of submucosa, blood vessels, or bone; and the absence of diabetes, immunodeficiency state.

		The prognosis of fungal endophthalmitis depends on the virulence of the organism, the extent of intraocular involvement, and the timing and mode of interventions.
		The diagnosis of endogenous fungal endophthalmitis should be considered in patients who present with vitritis accompanied by a chorioretinal focus in the clinical setting of a recent or current debilitating illness.
		Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis without evidence of disseminated disease can be treated successfully with vitrectomy and intravitreal amphotericin B. Given the narrow therapeutic range of amphotericin B, it should not be given in a gas-filled eye.
