The present paper attempts to  explore the socio-demographic profile of @entity1 with @entity29690 in an endemic area. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary-care hospital in Purulia district, India, including consecutive @entity1 with histologically-proved @entity29690 . Their socio-demographic profiles were obtained through a pre-designed proforma with given epidemiologic parameters. Data was statistically analyzed with inputs from literature review. Of the 39 @entity1 included, 87  % were fresh/new cases. The age-group of 10-20  years was mostly involved, with multiple peaks around 50. About 82  % were from rural background, commonly involved in @entity291 farming and agriculture, with a universal habit of pond-bathing. There was a male preponderance; however @entity1 were being increasingly affected. Nasal cavity was the predominant site involved; nasal obstruction and @entity1415 were the primary complaints. About 13  % had recurrent lesions that were statistically related to higher age-group (>= 15  years) and occupation (agriculture, labor). @entity29690 is predominantly the disease of young rural adults engaged in field activities and habituated to pond-bathing. A bimodal age distribution was noticed. The present article provides an update on the socio-demographic perspectives of @entity29690 in an endemic zone. It also summarizes the factors that would identify the vulnerable population and help formulate preventive measures.
