Abstract
|
|
|
|
Upper airway tuberculosis usually develops as a secondary infection from pulmonary tuberculosis, and primary upper airway tuberculosis, especially in nasopharynx, is a rare disease. The appropriate treatment for nasopharyngeal tuberculosis has been difficult because of complicated initial diagnosis and suspicion. Physicians should consider various granulomatous diseases in differential diagnosis. However, upper airway tuberculosis can be highly contagious, like pulmonary tuberculosis; therefore, early diagnosis and proper management are important. We recently experienced the successful early diagnosis and treatment of two cases of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis and report these cases with a review of the literature.
