Mogla S, Pandey AK, Ahmed S, Bhardwaj A

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by the bacterium Klebsiella Rhinoscleromatis. It primarily affects the nasal mucosa and can also involve other parts of the respiratory tract. We present a case report of 50-year-old female with rhinoscleroma, who presented with a 4 month history of nasal obstruction, recurrent sneezing and frequent frontal headaches. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of nasal biopsy. The patient was treated with a prolonged course of antibiotics, resulting in significant clinical improvement.
