title: [Laryngeal and lung tuberculosis: a case presentation].
abstract: Tuberculosis continues to be one of the principal problems in worldwide public health. In Uruguay there are around 650 cases being reported each year. Laryngeal tuberculosis is a disease not frequently encoutered and is normally diagnosed by the otorhinolaryngologist since dysphonia is the main symptom in most cases. We report one case diagnosed in the Endoscopy Service of the Hospital de Clínicas. The patient was derived from a medical clinic due to atypical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms with unfavourable evolution under proton pump inhibitor treatment.
