“…It is affected often severely and early in the disease, even before manifestation of skin or nerve involvement (Barton, 1985). Many studies reveal that nasal discharge plays an important role in the transmission of leprosy (Barton, 1974a;Davey and Rees, 1974;McDougall et al, 1975;Chako et al, 1979;Barton and Hugerzeil, 1975).

Ten patients with lepromatous leprosy have been studied to detect intranasal pathology by conventional naked eye rhinoscopy and also by use of the surgical microscope. The comparison of both methods reveals that microscopic rhinoscopy is superior in providing more accurate details of intranasal lesions in leprosy and biopsy can be taken in a precise manner from accurate and representative sites. Use of the microscope with adequate exposure and bright illumination provides precise details of lesions and an opportunity for bimanual manipulation, photography, teaching and recording. Thus, it is worthwhile to perform microscopic rhinoscopy in such cases.
