Abstract
Eleven cases of scleroma with lower respiratory tract affection were examined by the flexible and rigid bronchoscopes. The patterns of laryngeal, tracheal and bronchial scleroma as seen through the flexible scope are presented. In the larynx, diffuse and localized forms are found. The trachea was affected by granular or atrophic lesions. Stenosis of the main bronchi was seen in two patients. The present-day treatment of lower respiratory tract scleroma is discussed.
