Novel multidrug therapy for disseminated rhinosporidiosis, refractory to dapsone – case report
2013
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disorder, caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi endemic in India and Sri Lanka. The most common sites are the nasal mucosa and the nasopharynx and cutaneous lesions usually occur as a part of disseminated rhinosporidiosis. Dapsone has been frequently used in treating disseminated disease in immunocompetent individuals. Here we report a case of disseminated rhinosporidiosis in an immunocompromised individual on antiretroviral drugs, non-responsive to Dapsone and therefore treated with a multidrug therapy of Cycloserine, Dapsone and Ketoconazole with good response.
