Nasal leprosy: an ancient disease not to be forgotten
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
We are reporting a case of a gentleman referred to a tertiary care center for epistaxis associated with maggots in the nose and was found to have a nasal septal perforation. He underwent investigations with histopathologic analysis and skin slit smear to obtain a diagnosis. The patient received multidisciplinary management including endoscopic removal of the maggots and biopsies obtained from both the nasal septum and leg ulcers and subsequently anti leprosy medication.
