Laryngeal tuberculosis: a rare presentation in a Nigerian child with disseminated tuberculosis.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a ravaging disease, particularly in the low-income countries, with a protean manifestation in children. Thus, a high index of suspicion is the key to clinching the diagnosis when presentation is in a rare form such as laryngeal TB. In this study, the case report of a 10‑year‑old female child with laryngeal TB in the setting of other typical clinical presentation associated with TB is highlighted.
