Noma Cases: Cancrum Oris Noma and Gangrenous Stomatitis
Noma, also called cancrum oris or gangrenous stomatitis, is a rapidly progressing gangrenous disease of the mouth and face. It begins as a sore in the soft tissue of the gums and can spread to bone and facial skin. It mainly affects children aged 2 to 6, although immunocompromised adults can also develop it. The disease involves multiple types of microorganisms. Risk factors include malnutrition, weakened immunity, other infections, poor oral health and extreme poverty. Noma is not contagious, with no documented person-to-person spread. Early treatment includes antibiotics, oral hygiene and nutritional support. When treated at the gum-sore stage, it can heal without lasting effects; advanced disease may require reconstructive surgery. The World Health Organization formally recognized noma as a neglected tropical disease on December 15, 2023. · · · · · · · · · · · |
