History

Common Symptoms

The mucous membranes of the mouth develop ulcers, and rapid, painless tissue degeneration ensues, which can degrade tissues of the bones in the face. The disease degrades the faces of children within days.

In a condition sometimes called noma pudendi, noma can also cause tissue damage to the genitals.

Shown below is a man suffering from Noma. The disease can be seen degrading the face.
