==History and Symptoms==
Rhinoscleroma has been divided into 3 stages: catarrhal/atrophic, granulomatous, and sclerotic stages.  The catarrhal stage begins with a nonspecific [[rhinitis]], which progresses into purulent, fetid [[rhinorrhea], and crusting, which can last for weeks or even monthsThe granulomatous stage results in the development of a bluish red nasal mucosa and the development of intranasal rubbery nodules or polyps. [[Epistaxis]], [[nasal deformity]], and destruction of the nasal cartilage are also noted ([[Hebra nose]]). The damage may result in anesthesia of the [[soft palate]], enlargement of the [[uvula]], [[dysphonia]], and various degrees of airway obstruction. The fibrotic stage is characterized by sclerosis and fibrosis. Lymphadenitis is absent.

History and Symptoms

Rhinoscleroma has been divided into 3 stages: catarrhal/atrophic, granulomatous, and sclerotic stages. The catarrhal stage begins with a nonspecific rhinitis, which progresses into purulent, fetid [[rhinorrhea], and crusting, which can last for weeks or even months. The granulomatous stage results in the development of a bluish red nasal mucosa and the development of intranasal rubbery nodules or polyps. Epistaxis, nasal deformity, and destruction of the nasal cartilage are also noted (Hebra nose). The damage may result in anesthesia of the soft palate, enlargement of the uvula, dysphonia, and various degrees of airway obstruction. The fibrotic stage is characterized by sclerosis and fibrosis. Lymphadenitis is absent.
