Histological studies in primary neuritic leprosy: changes in the nasal mucosa.
The nasal mucosae of 39 cases of primary neuritic leprosy (PNL) registered at Karigiri were studied histologically to determine nasal mucosal involvement in PNL and its relevance to the pathogenesis of the disease. Specific changes of leprosy were seen in 20 (51%) biopsies, ranging from macrophage granulomas with acid fast bacilli, to epithelioid granulomas and nerve inflammation. The remaining...

Leprosy is a complex disease known for having great variability in its clinical presentation, sometimes with more nerve involvement and related anesthesia and deformities and sometimes with skin lesions primarily. In about 4–8% of the cases the clinical pre...
متن کاملThe Fungi Flora of Healthy Nasal Mucosa in Kerman, Iran
Introduction: Environmental fungi, molds and yeasts, can infest the nasal cavity through inhaled air. There is some evidence that they could be the main cause of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) but little is known about the normal fungal flora in the human nose. The objective of this study was to assess the normal fungal flora of the nasal mucus in adults in Kerman. Materials and Methods: We ...
متن کاملHistological markers in nasal mucosa of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Neuropathological changes such as dystrophic neurites and the presence of abnormal tau protein in the olfactory system, including primary sensory cells and nerve fibres have previously been demonstrated in nasal mucosa tissue of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). These changes were detected in autopsy-derived material from histopathologically confirmed AD cases as well as in biopsy tissue ...
