“…Symptoms resolve within two weeks of instituting chemotherapy (Hunter et al, 1981) and the sputum becomes clear of mycobacteria. The persistence of a suspicious lesion after treatment may be due to non-compliance, 'a resistant organism, or a concomitant carcinoma which should be excluded by biopsy (Chodosh and Willis, 1970;Hunters al., 1981).…”

The resurgence of tuberculosis world-wide and its association with HIV infection means a greater likelihood of otolaryngologists encountering the disease in one form or another. In this review the features of primary and secondary tuberculosis in various head and neck sites are described, and recent advances in diagnosis are discussed. For the otolaryngologists other important aspects such as infections with atypical mycobacteria, the differential diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy in HIV-infected patients, recently recognized problems in drug treatment, and the role of surgery in head and neck tuberculosis are also discussed.

Tuberculosis of nose, nasopharynx and paranasal sinus is extremely rare even in countries with a high incidence of pulmonary disease. We present two cases of primary nasal tuberculosis managed in last three years in our department with 2500 to 3000 patient visits per month. One case simulated basal cell carcinoma while other case was an ATT defaulter. Both the cases were managed on RNTCP guidelines. Nasal tuberculosis needs high level of suspicion and is diagnosed with laboratory support.
