Abstract
The clinical and epidemiological pattern of nasal entomophthorosis due to Conidiobolus coronatus, and its histological and mycological features in 13 Igbo patients are described. The disease occurs in an endemic fashion within the hinterland of the Igbo enclave, the riverine areas appearing somewhat exempt. The disease as seen here is probably of the same low virulence in man as reported from other parts of the world. Few florid cases seen were due to neglect rather than to more aggressive behavior. Septrin was the drug of choice in the management of future cases.
