    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary tuberculosis remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in developing countries.
    • Laryngeal involvement is a known complication of pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and common sites of laryngeal involvement in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Main Methods:

    • A study was conducted on 100 patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • Laryngeal examinations were performed to identify any signs of tuberculosis involvement.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 100 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, 37 (37%) exhibited laryngeal involvement.
    • The posterior larynx and epiglottis were identified as the most frequently affected laryngeal sites.

  • Classic ulcerative lesions and perichondritis were notably absent in the studied cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laryngeal tuberculosis is a common manifestation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • The posterior larynx and epiglottis are primary sites of laryngeal TB.
    • Modern chemotherapy appears to have reduced the incidence of severe laryngeal pathologies like ulcers and perichondritis.
