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.
