Clinical description of laryngeal tuberculosis.
Clinical case review.
The authors report three cases of laryngeal tuberculosis with lung involvement in HIV-negative patients; symptoms were mostly laryngeal. Diagnosis was made in all cases through laryngeal biopsy and examination of the sputum. Patients fully recovered after being given standard antituberculosis therapy.
Laryngeal tuberculosis almost disappeared after the 1950s, but, concomitant with the increase in pulmonary forms, may still be found and, being uncommon, is often misdiagnosed.
喉结核的临床描述。
临床病例回顾。
作者报告了3例HIV阴性且肺部受累的喉结核患者;症状主要出现在喉部。所有病例均通过喉部活检和痰液检查确诊。给予标准抗结核治疗后,患者完全康复。
20世纪50年代后喉结核几乎消失,但随着肺结核病例的增加,仍可能被发现,且因其罕见,常被误诊。
