Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2022 Dec;74(Suppl 3):4666-4668. doi: 10.1007/s12070-021-02971-5. Epub 2021 Nov 13.

Abstract

Nasal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity even in developing countries where tuberculosis of respiratory tract is extremely high. It becomes more difficult to diagnose if it presents with symptoms which are not commonly associated with nasal tuberculosis. Here we report the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of a case of nasal tuberculosis. Early diagnosis and timely treatment will certainly reduce the morbidity of this disease.
