Al-Balad details child's nasal mucous issue
A medical team at Salmaniya Medical Complex successfully removed a live leech from inside the nose of an Asian patient. This was a rare case that lasted nine days, during which the leech lived and fed inside the respiratory tract without dying or falling out on its own, causing continuous bleeding and difficulty breathing. Doctors explained that such cases are uncommon, especially in modern environments, and often resemble common ailments like sinusitis or allergies, making early diagnosis difficult. The leech was discovered through nasal endoscopy and carefully removed to prevent suffocation or bleeding. The medical team also emphasized the importance of avoiding untreated freshwater while traveling to prevent such incidents.
