title: [Perforation of the nasal septum caused by leishmaniasis].
abstract: The perforation of the nasal septum with the crusted ulcer surrounding accompanied by the erythema of skin of the vestibule should suggest the possibility of leishmaniosis. The microscopic examination and culture of the secretions in N.N.N. culture medium provides confirmation of the diagnosis and the specific treatment could then be instituted.
