Comments on 'novel multidrug therapy for disseminated rhinosporidiosis, refractory to dapsone - case report'.
Disseminated rhinosporidiosis can be successfully treated with multidrug therapy. Orally administered drugs can take longer to reach the affected areas in the presence of haemorrhage, oedema and inflammation. Wherever possible, surgical excision followed by drug therapy would be more effective.
