Description

Tuberculosis of the glottis is a rare form of tuberculosis that affects the vocal cords and larynx. It can be confirmed through bacteriological or histological examination, indicating the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the tissue.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should maintain a formal register when conveying this diagnosis, as it is a serious condition. Be aware that some patients may refer to it colloquially, but it is crucial to use the clinical term 'tuberculosis de la glotis' in formal contexts. Avoid confusion with other forms of tuberculosis, such as pulmonary tuberculosis.
