It is the only method for etiologic diagnosis of some organisms such as Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly Pneumocystis carinii), Loboa loboi, and
Rhinosporidium seeberi.
Rhinosporidium seeberi is the etiologic agent of a chronic, and usually painless, localized granulomatous infection of the mucous membranes of the sinonasal tract, conjunctiva, and urethra.
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic sinonasal fungal infection caused by
Rhinosporidium seeberi, an organism infrequently encountered in the United States but endemic to India, Sri Lanka, South America, and Africa.

INTRODUCTION:
Rhinosporidium Seeberi has worldwide distribution being more prevalent in Southern India, Srilanka and South East Asia, although cases have been reported in South America, Africa and United States.
The taxonomic status of Lacazia loboi and
Rhinosporidium seeberi has been finally resolved with the use of molecular tools.
