Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern.
  • Laryngeal involvement can complicate TB, impacting patient quality of life.
  • Understanding laryngeal TB manifestations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clinically evaluate and endoscopically examine the larynx in patients with established pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • To determine the specific manifestations and prevalence of laryngeal involvement in this patient cohort.
  • To correlate pulmonary symptoms with laryngeal findings.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-one patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis underwent clinical assessment.
  • Endoscopic examination of the larynx was performed to identify lesions.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Demographic data, pulmonary complaints, and laryngeal symptoms were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • Nearly half of the patients (47%) exhibited morphological changes in the larynx.
    • Common laryngeal symptoms included hoarseness, weak voice, and episodic dyspnoea.
    • Observed laryngeal lesions included oedema, pallor, ulcers, vocal cord immobility, and thickening.

    Conclusions:

    • Laryngeal involvement in pulmonary tuberculosis presents with characteristic signs and symptoms.
    • The observed presentation pattern aligns with classical descriptions of laryngeal tuberculosis.
    • No specific predilection for laryngeal involvement was identified in this study.
