Here we report on a 12-year-old schoolboy who presented initially with ear, nose and throat manifestations, including stridor, cough, hoarseness, sore throat and fever. The other clinical signs such as nasal tip, depression and softening of right auricle, developed subsequently. The clinical features, laboratory investigations, diagnostic criteria and treatment options were discussed with a brief review of literature. ER -
