Acute invasive fungal sinusitis with orbital tip syndrome in patients on long-term use of ruxolitinib: a case report
ConclusionOne of the bases for the occurrence of invasive fungal sinusitis may be the patient ’s long-term use of ruxolitinib for essential thrombocythemia.

It is suggested that enhanced magnetic resonance imaging should be p erformed at an early stage. Surgical treatment in combination with antifungal and enhanced immunotherapy can effectively prevent the spread of infection and reduce the risk of death. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)
