Question: Rhinoscleroma.... has anyone heard of this? Has anyone heard of this? I have been diagnosed with this. The doc says not to worry it can be controlled. No lasting changes will be seen you just have to use antibiotics from time to time to control it. I just want to know if anyone knows of this and anything they can share to help me ease my mind.

Answer: It is an upper respiratory virus that mainly affects the nose. It can be controlled with antibiotics. Left untreated, it can lead to other serious diseases. It is found mostly in Africa. I've never heard of a case in North America or developed Europe.
