CANCRUM ORIS IN HIV INFECTED CHILDREN IN LESOTHO: REPORT OF TWO CASES
Abstract
Cancrum Oris (Noma) has been known to mankind since time immemorial. Its public
health importance is lately being realised especially in Africa, where majority of the
cases occur. It affects those whose immune systems are compromised and thus, it is
no wonder that it is being reported in HIV infected individuals. This development could
have serious implications regarding the impact of the HIV pandemic globally and in
particular the African region where poverty is rife.
