Spontaneous Isolated Nasal Septal Cellulitis After Renal Transplant

Background: Isolated head and neck infections following a renal transplant are rare. We report one such case. Aims: To report the case of an isolated spontaneous cellulitis of nasal septum in a post renal transplant patient and to briefly review the pertinent literature on isolated head and neck infections in this state. Setting: A tertiary health care center. Design: A retrospective case review. Results: The patient responded well to the management and is asymptomatic for the disease 6 months following the treatment. Conclusions: Isolated nasal infections are very rare in renal transplant recipients and isolated spontaneous nasal septal cellulitis is still rarer with no case reported in the literature in our search of pertinent medical literature.
