Abstract

A total of 13 patients (11 men, 2 women, aged 3-60 yr) from Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Chad and Zaire were diagnosed with Rhinosporidium seeberi infection in the 'Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine', Antwerp, Belgium (12 cases) or in the Centre Hospitalier, Kigali, Rwanda (1) during 1966-1988. All cases were diagnosed by histopathological examination of biopsy specimens. Clinical symptoms are discussed, including the incidence of lesions outside the nose and eye, localized on the urethral orifice in a man from Zaire
