title: The effect of streptomycin and irradiation on rhinoscleroma (electron microscopic study).
abstract: Irradiation of scleromatous lesions produces its effect by destroying the organisms, whereas Streptomycin improves the mucosal defence mechanisms. A combination of both lines of treatment seems to be indicated for the arrest of the pathological process.
