    Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic, non-fatal, granulomatous infection caused by the fungus-like organism Rhinosporidium seeberi. It typically affects the mucous membranes, primarily of the nose and eyes. This disease is characterized by the formation of polyp-like growths that can cause discomfort, bleeding, and sometimes obstruction of the affected organ. It is endemic in certain parts of Asia, Africa and South America, and is usually acquired through contact with water contaminated with the organism. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the polyps and anti-fungal medication.
