Although it doesn’t result in death, doesn’t result in osteomyelitis, doesn’t result in pain, bilateral nasal obstruction, or a lingering bad odor, atrophic rhinitis (AR) is a term used to describe a nasal infection.
The condition known as atrophic rhinitis (AR), which affects the inside of the nose, is brought on by the atrophy—or shrinking—of the bone and mucosa that line the nasal passages, which can alter how well they function.
Causes
AR can occur at almost any stage of life and has two distinct types. Females are more likely than males to develop the condition.
Primary atrophic rhinitis
Without any underlying conditions or prior medical events, primary AR develops on its own.Klebsiella ozaenaeis frequently discovered, as well as other bacteria.
Although the exact cause is unknown, a number of unfavorable circumstances could increase your chances of getting primary AR, including:
· genetics
· poor nutrition
· chronic infections
Low iron levels that cause anemia
· endocrine conditions
· autoimmune conditions
· environmental factors
Secondary atrophic rhinitis
If you’ve had: You may be more vulnerable to secondary AR if you’ve had: Surgery in the past, or a medical condition that’s not fully resolved.
· radiation
· sinus surgery
· nasal trauma
The following circumstances may increase your risk of secondary AR development:
· syphilis
· tuberculosis
· lupus
