“…Nutritional deficiency has been marked as one of the etiologic factors of primary atrophic rhinitis by many authors. Some authors consider this to be an iron deficiency disease [6, 16–19]. Fat-soluble vitamin deficiency especially vitamin A is also believed to be a predisposing factor [1, 7].…”

Background. The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical profile, microbiological flora and radiological features in primary atrophic rhinitis patients and to identify their association with the etiology of primary atrophic rhinitis. Study design. Prospective case study. Materials and methods. Patients with primary atrophic rhinitis over a two years period were included in the study. Complete blood count, total protein and microbiological analysis from nasal swab were done to evaluate iron deficiency anemia, nutritional status and identification of the pathogenic bacteria respectively. Radiological evaluation was done to study the radiological features of primary atrophic rhinitis. Observations. Ninety cases of primary atrophic rhinitis were studied. The most common symptom was nasal crusting. Nasal crust, odour and atrophy of mucosa were the most consistent finding. Nasal myiasis was found in 26.6% cases. The nasal mucociliary clearance time was markedly increased. On investigation there were low value of hemoglobin and total protein in 46.6% and 25.5% patients, respectively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37%) was the commonest organism isolated from culture. On radiological evaluation evidence of different grade of sinusitis was seen in 87.7% case. Conclusion. The present study suggested that certain bacterial infections, anemia, poor nutrition and hereditary factor may contribute significantly to the etiology of primary atrophic rhinitis.

“…Some authors consider this to be an iron deficiency disease. 26 Fat-soluble vitamin deficiency (especially vitamin A) is also believed to be a factor. 15 An interesting study from Poland attempts to find out why ozaena is almost absent in the well-developed regions and why it commonly occurs in the developing and underdeveloped countries where the everyday diet is poor in iron, proteins and vitamins.…”

Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic, debilitating and recalcitrant disease of the nasal cavities that is prevalent in several parts of the world. It has unique epidemiological features and clinical characteristics. Clinicians and researchers for decades have tried to postulate theories for the aetiology of the primary form of the disease. Management of the disease has seen several medical therapeutic regimens including alternative forms of medicine. Surgical options for the condition are also not completely satisfactory with a number of failures and recurrences. The authors provide here a comprehensive review of the existing literature as regards the aetiology and management of this refractory condition.

“…Similar findings were observed by Bernat et al, who considered atrophic rhinitis an iron deficiency disease. 7 Commonest organism identified in this study was Pseudomonas aeruginosa 37% followed by Klebsiella (31%), Staphylococcus aureus (6%), E. coli (5%) and Proteus (4%). In 13% cases more than one organism was isolated.…”

“…6 Nutritional deficiency of iron, vitamins A and D and proteins, lower socioeconomic status, poor hygiene, hormonal, hereditary and autoimmune theories have also been proposed. [7][8][9][10] Secondary atrophic rhinitis may be secondary to a number of conditions. Chronic granulomatous diseases like syphilis, lupus, leprosy and rhinoscleroma may cause destruction of the nasal structures and secondary atrophic changes.…”

Background: Atrophic rhinitis is very common in India. All etiological factors are yet unknown. Many studies have been conducted to find the relationship between ABO blood group and various systemic diseases but limited number of studies has been conducted to determine the association of ABO blood group with atrophic rhinitis. The present study therefore was performed to see the association between atrophic rhinitis and ABO blood group.Methods: 100 patients of both genders clinically diagnosed with atrophic rhinitis were included in this study. Patients with nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and foul smelling from causes other than the atrophic rhinitis were excluded from the study. Results: Maximum number of cases 27 (27%) were between 21-30 years of age. The most common presenting symptom in our study was foul smell from nose in 100 cases (100%). Foetors, crusts and roomy nasal cavity were seen in majority of cases. Commonest organism identified in this study was Pseudomonas aeruginosa 37% followed by Klebsiella (31%). Out of 100 patients, 42 patients belonged to group O, 40 patients belonged to group B, 14 patients belonged to group A and only 4 patients belonged to group AB. Control population with blood group B comprises the maximum number of cases followed by blood group O. Percentage of patients with blood group O is higher in atrophic rhinitis as compared with control and the percentage of patients with blood group B is slightly higher in atrophic rhinitis as compared with control.Conclusions: Our study concluded that no correlation exists between the ABO blood group and atrophic rhinitis.
