Description

Tuberculosis of glottis refers to an infection affecting the glottis, which is part of the larynx. This condition can occur without confirmation through bacteriological or histological methods, making diagnosis challenging.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in contexts where the lack of confirmation is emphasized. Common variants might include colloquial terms or regional dialects, but it is crucial to use the glossary term in formal medical settings to avoid confusion.
