Abstract
Noma is an opportunistic infection characterized by devastating gangrenous stomatitis leading to severe tissue destruction that predominantly affects malnourished children in sub-Saharan Africa. Only a few cases have been reported in immunocompromised patients from developed countries. We present an unusual case of nomalike necrotizing stomatitis in a previously healthy child with Crohn's disease in Korea.Entities:
