title: [Current aspects of laryngeal tuberculosis. Apropos of 4 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: After the discovery of streptomycin 1944, laryngeal tuberculosis became a rare complication of advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. Since that time the clinical aspects of the disease have changed. We analyzed these changes by reviewing 65 papers in English and in French published from 1965 to 1991 involving 738 cases and added our 4 new personal cases. To our knowledge, we report the first two well-documented cases of laryngeal tuberculosis in HIV positive patients. We propose a therapeutic and follow-up protocol for laryngeal and chest specialists treating such patients.
