mycolabadmin
A 56-year-old diabetic man developed a sinus infection caused by a rare fungus called Lasiodiplodia theobromae, which typically affects plants. The infection was diagnosed through laboratory testing and DNA sequencing, as traditional identification methods were inconclusive. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of sinus surgery and a six-week course of antifungal medication, showing complete recovery after one year of follow-up.
