Laryngeal scleroma associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. ozaenae

C De Champs et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. ozaenae was isolated from the pharynx of a woman with laryngeal scleroma. K. pneumoniae subsp. ozaenae is rarely isolated from clinical infections and has never been reported in laryngeal scleroma, which is usually caused by K. pneumoniae subsp. rhinoscleromatis.
