Abstract
Morphological findings in serial nasal mucosal biopsies from three cas es of rhinosporidiosis on dapsone therapy were compared with biopsies from 33 patients taken before dapsone or surgical treatment was initia ted. all biopsies were examined by light microscopy and five by electr on microscopy. Counts of histologically intact and degenerated organis ms showed a decreasing proportion of intact forms with treatment.
