Abstract

The resurgence of tuberculosis has been of increasing concern to public health. Laryngeal and cutaneous tuberculosis have long been regarded as two of the most infectious forms of the disease. In this article, we re-emphasize the public health consequences of a case of laryngeal TB, which must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient with persistent fever, cough, weight loss, and hoarseness.

摘要

结核病的死灰复燃一直是公共卫生日益关注的问题。喉结核和皮肤结核长期以来一直被视为该疾病最具传染性的两种形式。在本文中，我们再次强调一例喉结核的公共卫生后果，在对持续发热、咳嗽、体重减轻和声音嘶哑的患者进行鉴别诊断时必须考虑到这一点。
