Rhinosporidiosis: A report of 104 cases from Raipur, Chhattisgarh (India)
Patients from rural areas and those having lower socioeconomic status having exposure to pond bathing were more affected (73%). As there is no effective medical therapy and recurrences are common, personal hygiene may be the most useful measure to prevent the spread of disease. More intensive research studies need to be conducted to know the exact cause of the disease so that effective therapy can be developed for rhinosporidiosis.
