Bloody tears from lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis
Lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis is an uncommon infection and to our knowledge has not been reported in Canada. Rhinosporidium seeberi is a fungus-like parasite with an evolutionary origin near the animal-fungal divergence that causes chronic infection of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.1 It is endemic in India and Southeast Asia, but rarely a cause of disease outside of this region.2
