    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Laryngeal tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
    • It poses a significant risk of transmission to healthcare workers and the community.
    • Chronic hoarseness can be an indicator of laryngeal tuberculosis.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of laryngeal tuberculosis.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed through laryngeal biopsy.
    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified in sputum samples.

    Findings:

    • Biopsy confirmed tuberculous involvement of the larynx.
    • Microbiological identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum validated the diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Laryngeal tuberculosis should be included in the differential diagnosis for chronic hoarseness.
    • Prompt diagnosis and isolation are essential to control the spread of this infectious disease.
    • Awareness among healthcare professionals is vital for timely patient management.
