Abstract
Tuberculosis involvement of the larynx is uncommon. However, it is a highly infectious disease and a hazard to both community and hospital staff. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with chronic hoarseness. Two patients with laryngeal tuberculosis are the objective of the present report. The diagnosis was established by biopsy followed by isolation and identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum.Keywords
