Nasal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity which mainly presents in elderly people. Nasal tuberculosis has always been considered to be secondary to tuberculosis of the lungs, and in rare instances it is a primary infection, usually when mycobacteria are inhaled. We describe the case of a 10-year-old girl who was successfully treated for primary nasal tuberculosis. This patient is one of the very few children who have been reported to have primary nasal tuberculosis.
鼻结核是一种罕见的临床病症,主要见于老年人。鼻结核一直被认为是继发于肺结核,在极少数情况下是原发性感染,通常是在吸入分枝杆菌时发生。我们描述了一名10岁女孩原发性鼻结核成功治愈的病例。该患者是极少数报道过的患原发性鼻结核的儿童之一。
