Rhinoscleroma, a chronic infection, presents with nasal obstruction and requires early diagnosis. Treatment with fluoroquinolones showed satisfactory outcomes in most cases studied.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis.
  • Understanding its clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic aspects is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 3 cases of rhinoscleroma over 15 years.
  • Clinical manifestations included progressive bilateral nasal obstruction, crusting rhinitis, and laryngeal involvement.
  • Diagnostic methods comprised nasal endoscopy, bacteriological sampling, and histological examination.

Findings:

  • Histological and bacteriological analyses confirmed the diagnosis in all cases.
  • All patients received fluoroquinolone treatment.
  • Satisfactory clinical evolution was observed in two out of three patients.
