This study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital to evaluate the occurrence of Chronic fungal rhinosinusitis in patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital.AIM: To isolate the fungi causing chronic fungal rhinosinusitis, to categorise them, to study the susceptibility pattern of the isolates to anti fungal drugs. Processing and identification of isolates were done following standard operating procedures. CFRS was noted in 11% of the cases in the present study. Allergic fungal sinusitis was the most common (67%). Aspergillus flavus was most commonly isolated (46.5%). A.flavus was the most common isolate in all categories except CIFRS. All isolates were sensitive to Amphotericin B and Itraconazole Categorisation of CFRS is essential and helps to decide the best treatment option for the patient. Anti fungal sensitivity testing should be done as a routine for all cases.
