title: [Primary laryngeal tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis].
abstract: It is suggested that laryngeal tuberculosis is a common complication of pulmonary tuberculosis. The most frequent germ is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We present a case in which a infrequent bacillus, Mycobacterium bovis, was isolated without lung afectation. Considerations about morphologic and microbiologic findings are discussed.
