Abstract

Introduction: We report a case of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica associated with Ozena (atrophic rhinitis).

Observation: Fibreoptic bonchoscopy showed irregular tracheal stenosis and histopathological examination displayed zones of bone metaplasia in the tracheal submucosa. We isolated the bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae sp ozaenae from bronchial aspirate.

Conclusion: This organism is frequently isolated in both conditions suggesting some link between the two diseases.
