“…Although the fi rst case of rhinosporidiosis in Brazil was reported in 1933 (12) , few publications focus on this issue in the country; most papers report isolated cases (19) (20) . The two largest case series in Brazil have only 11 (21) and 10 (22) cases, and majority patients in both studies were from the State of Maranhão.…”

Introduction: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic infection of the mucous membrane and is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, an aquatic mesomycetozoan. The mode of infection is probably transepithelial penetration. The large number of rivers and lakes and the strong presence of riparian populations in the State of Maranhão are strong predisposing factors for rhinosporidiosis. Methods:A 5-year retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary medical center situated in Maranhão, Northeast Brazil. Twenty-fi ve Maranhense patients diagnosed with rhinosporidiosis were analyzed. Results: Most of the patients were children, adolescents and young adults (age range: 7-24 years, mean age: 14 years). The majority of the participants were male (84%), brown (76%), and students (92%). All lesions involved the entire nasal cavity and presented with a vascular polypoid mass. All patients were treated by surgical excision of the lesions. Conclusions: Rhinosporidiosis affects younger age groups, especially students from the countryside and the outskirts of urban areas. This study will aid and guide physicians in diagnosing and treating this infection in endemic areas.

“…A rinosporidiose ocorre em climas tropicais quentes em todos os continentes e além do Brasil já foram relatados casos em Uganda, Sri Lanka, Índia, Argentina, EUA e outros locais (GUARNER EBRANDT, 2011 Públ., v. 5, n. 1, p. 072-079 NEVES, 1954;LONDERO et al, 1977;KARUNARATNE, 1991;MOISAN E BAKER, 2001;LEEMING et al, 2007;GALIZA et al, 2014;NEVES et al, 2014;SANTOS et al, 2014;AQUINO et al, 2016;BERNARDO et al, 2016;), e pode estar relacionada com o fato do R. seeberi ter seu habitat natural em águas paradas, lacrustes ou subterrânease a ingestão ou banho de água contaminada é provavelmente a fonte de infecção, possivelmente através de pequenas feridas na mucosa (FREDRIKCS et al, 2000;KALUARACHCHI et al, 2008;KARUNARATNE, 1991).…”

A rinosporidiose é uma infecção de natureza crônica causada pelo agente etiológico Rinosporidium seeberi. Afeta predominantemente narinas e nasofaringe e é responsável pela formação de nódulos granulomatosos. Os principais sinais clínicos são secreção nasal, ruídos respiratórios e dificuldade respiratória por obstrução. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de rinosporidiose em um equino macho, adulto com 7 anos de idade, sem raça definida e destinado ao serviço de patrulhamento urbano. O diagnóstico foi estabelecido pelos sinais clínicos e confirmado através do exame histopatológico. O tratamento de escolha foi a excisão cirúrgica da massa granulomatosa seguida pela termocauterização da sua base, apresentando ótimo resultado. Pode-se concluir que casos suspeitos devem ser estudados com a finalidade de identificar o agente causal para estabelecer o correto diagnóstico e dessa forma determinar um tratamento adequado, eficaz e assegurar um prognóstico convicto.
