OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the reasons of the almost complete ozena disappearance in current population. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]
Although the two conditions are similar in many respects, yet ozena has a definite characteristic odor and may be present without marked atrophy of the nasal structures. [jamanetwork.com]

Etiology
Because of the voluminousness of the literature, this review will be limited to the etiology. [jamanetwork.com]
Abstract Ozaena is the term applied to chronic, fetid, atrophic rhinitis of obscure etiology. It is known that the disorder occurs in conditions of poverty, hunger and dirt. [annals.org]
The etiology of ozena still remains enigmatic but hereditary, infectious, developmental, endocrine and nutritional factors have been implicated. [eastjmed.org]
Although the etiology is not completely understood, infection with Klebsiella ozaenae is widely believed to contribute to the destructive changes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Currently, its etiology remains unknown(4). [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Many physicians may prescribe saline nasal rinses or sprays for daily use in keeping the area clean and preventing crust formation. In some cases, debridement of the overlying crusts and necrotic portions may be required to facilitate healing. [docksci.com]
