An unusual case of laryngeal scleroma.
An unusual case of nasal and laryngeal scleroma is presented. Laryngeal scleroma should be included in the differential diagnosis of obstructing lesions of the supraglottic airway. The immunoperoxidase staining method is useful in establishing the diagnosis in cases of equivocal culture and histopathologic appearance. It can further be used as an objective test to determine the effectiveness and duration of antibiotic therapy.
