Abstract：
:Although a rare entity, laryngeal tuberculosis must be a diagnostic consideration--along with laryngeal carcinoma--whenever patients present with prolonged hoarseness or painful dysphagia. This form of tuberculosis was once thought to be especially virulent and more infectious than other forms; however, severity was probably the result of the frequent association with advanced cavitary disease. Laryngeal tuberculosis usually responds well to multiple-drug antituberculous therapy.
