[Nasal mucosa in tropical climate].
Morphological and functional results of the factors influencing the nasal mucous membranes of 150 persons living in a tropical zone are presented. In particular, an increased rate of hyperplastic mucosa was found in comparison with a group of 850 subjects from central Germany. The macroscopic results correlated with exfoliative cytological examination. On the other hand, the rates of moderate and severe hyposmia (9.3%) as well as moderate and extreme nasal obstruction (34%) were lower.
