Abstract:
Rhinoscleroma is a specific granulomatous and chronic disorder with insidious evolution. It is causes by pathogen Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It mainly occurs in the nasal cavities and positive diagnosis is sometimes problematic. We report the case of a 19 year old female patient presenting with rhinoscleroma considered atypical due to its rare nasopharyngeal localization and its exceptional association with cervical lymphadenopathy in the right submandibular angle region. Anatomopathological exam revealed Mikulicz's cells, thus enabling the diagnosis. The patient underwent antibiotic therapy with ciprofloxacin for 16 weeks associated with washing of nasal cavities with physiological saline solution. Patient's outcome was favorable during the 14-month follow-up period.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.

A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
