A case is reported in a 42-yr-old man with AIDS who presented with right maxillary sinusitis that was unresponsive to antibiotic treatment. S. commune was cultured from a biopsy specimen of the sinus. The sinus was aspirated repeatedly for 15 d. Despite treatment with fluconazole (400 mg/d), the pansinusitis persisted and the patient died 1 yr later of lymphocytic meningoencephalitis.
