Mycobacterial identification on homogenised biopsy facilitates the early diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal tuberculosis

Abstract

The incidence of laryngeal tuberculosis has increased gradually in recent years. Laryngeal tuberculosis has strong infectivity and atypical clinical manifestations. Hence, establishing the early diagnosis of laryngeal tuberculosis is considered difficult, resulting in the high rate of misdiagnosis of laryngeal tuberculosis and increased rates of tuberculosis infection.
