Tuberculous Laryngitis in Children.

The occurrence of tuberculosis of the larynx in children is usually regarded as being extremely rare. This view may be due, in part, to the fact that the symptoms of this disease in children are seldom conspicuous, but probably it is also due in no small measure to the fact that an examination of the larynx of a child is not frequently made. My experience leads me to believe that this examination in a child is not usually difficult, and that where it is performed as a routine among children suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis it will be found that tuberculous laryngitis is not uncommon.
