| Abstract |
|
Noma is a disease of dramatic onset affecting young children who are often ill nourished and who
are recovering from a serious illness, usually one of the eruptive fevers.
It is characterized by a well-demarcated gangrene affecting the gums, oral mucous and soft tissue of
the face, often associated with extensive destruction of the skin and the bony skeleton.
We experienced a case of Noma in 8 year old male child who was suffered from malnutrition with
bacillary dysentery.
There were well-demarcated gangrenes over the lower lip on the left side and the dorsal surface o£
the right first toe.
A literature was reviewed on this subject.
