Abstract

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic, progressive, granulomatous disease resulting from infection with Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It is generally uncommon, but endemic in certain regions of the world. It typically affects the nasal cavity, but also other parts of the respiratory system, such as the laryngotracheal region, which may be life-threatening if compromised. We present a 46-year-old male patient with a history of rhinoscleroma diagnosed and treated 15 years ago, with subglottal stenosis as a late sequela of this disease.

Resumen

El rinoescleroma es una entidad crónica, progresiva y de aspecto granulomatoso, resultado de la infección por Klebsiella rinoescleromatis. Es en general infrecuente, pero endémica en ciertas regiones del mundo. Afecta típicamente a la cavidad nasal, pero también a otras partes del sistema respiratorio, como la región laringotraqueal, cuyo compromiso puede representar un riesgo para la vida. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 46 años de edad, con el antecedente de rinoescleroma diagnosticado y tratado hace 15 años, que presenta estenosis subglótica como secuela tardía de esta enfermedad.
