Abstract
Over 25 million people in the World have leprosy. In the lepromatous form of the illness the nose is involved at a very early stage and in this paper the clinical manifestations are described. The nasal discharge in early untreated lepromatous leprosy contains vast numbers of the causative bacillus (M. leprae) and the important implications of these observations are discussed.
