| description | The respiratory scleroma is a rare granulomatous disease in the infantile population caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. The nose is the most cornmon site of infection, although any part of the upper or lower respiratory tract could be affected. The rate of occurrence is probably associated with different factors and the cellular immunity seems to be impaired in these patients. The disease developed three stages with distinct clinical and histopathologic features. The diagnosis is based on the c1inical history but bacterial culture as well as biopsy, are conclusive tests. A retrospective study was made at the Hospital de la Misericordia in Bogotá 1989 to 2001 in which three patients were included. The mean age of these patients was 12.6 years adn they presented nasal and laryngotracheal manifestations. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Those patients received a specific treatment and oral antibiotics were administered during six months with satisfactory evolution. Rhinoscleroma should be suspected in patients who come from endemic areas. |
