Abstract
Fourteen cases of nasal hirudiniasis, seen during a period of less than a year in Kumaon Hills of Northern India are reported. Unilateral epistaxis was the main symptom. Diagnosis was made by history and clinical examination. The leeches were removed by using locally a weak solution of chloroform and turpentine oil.Entities:
