Tuberculous laryngitis--a one year harvest.

R Gertler, L Ramages

    The Journal of Laryngology and Otology
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tuberculous laryngitis, a laryngeal manifestation of tuberculosis, affected nine patients. Diagnosis involved chest X-rays, sputum analysis, and biopsies confirming Acid-fast Bacilli, with two patients experiencing permanent laryngeal damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous laryngitis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent laryngeal damage and transmission.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and outcomes of tuberculous laryngitis in a series of patients.
    • To highlight the importance of considering laryngeal tuberculosis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of nine patients diagnosed with tuberculous laryngitis between January and December 1983.
    • Review of patient records including history, physical examination, chest X-rays, sputum analysis, and laryngeal biopsies.
    • Histopathological examination for Acid-fast Bacilli.

    Main Results:

    • Eight out of nine patients had positive chest X-rays for pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • Laryngeal biopsies were compatible with tuberculous laryngitis in four patients, with two confirmed by Acid-fast Bacilli.
    • Two patients developed permanent structural derangement of the larynx.

    Conclusions:

    • Tuberculous laryngitis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in patients with known or suspected pulmonary tuberculosis.
    • Diagnostic confirmation relies on a combination of imaging, microbiological, and histopathological findings.
    • Prompt treatment is essential to prevent disease progression and complications such as permanent laryngeal damage.
