“…Acute laryngitis is most commonly caused by a viral infection or strained vocal cords, and is typically self-limiting in less than 3 weeks. 1 , 2 Chronic laryngitis (CL) is diagnosed when the signs and symptoms last for more than a few weeks, and usually requires treatment. Chronic laryngitis is most commonly caused by laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), poor laryngeal hygiene (including smoking and excessive alcohol intake), and some types of infection.…”

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with a higher risk of morbidity and/or mortality for various chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of chronic laryngitis (CL) with MetS and its components in a representative Korean population.Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008–2010) were analyzed. A total of 10,360 adults who had undergone otolaryngological examination were evaluated.The prevalence of CL in the study population was 3.1%. The prevalence of MetS was significantly higher in patients with CL than in those without CL for both sexes (men: 34.7 ± 4.0% versus 25.9 ± 0.8%, P = 0.0235; women: 40.6 ± 5.3% versus 23.7 ± 0.7%, P = 0.0003). Elevated fasting glucose, triglycerides, and blood pressure, however, were only significantly associated with CL in women. After controlling for confounders, CL was only significantly associated with MetS in women (odds ratio: 2.159; 95% confidence interval: 1.2974, 3.594). Furthermore, the association between CL and MetS was most robust in women who were classified as obese.In Korea, MetS and its components are significantly associated with CL in women.

“…Laryngitis occurs when the larynx become inflamed, swollen, and irritated. Acute laryngitis is inflammation of the vocal fold mucosa and larynx that lasts less than three weeks [3,4]. Chronic laryngitis is diagnosed when signs and symptoms last longer than three weeks and can have infectious or non-infectious causes [4][5][6].…”

Background Whether herpes zoster infection (HZI) affects laryngitis incidence remains unknown. Objective The purpose of this population-based retrospective study was to analyze the relationship between laryngitis and HZI using data from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service—National Sample Cohort. Methods This study analyzed 1,197,093 medical claim codes from 2018. Patients with HZI (ICD-10: B02) were retrospectively identified. Laryngeal diseases were defined by ICD-10 codes for five subgroups: 1) malignant disease, 2) benign disease, 3) vocal cord palsy, 4) inflammatory disease, and 5) reflux disease. Results Among the Korean population older than 20 years, 12,809 experienced HZI. Subjects with HZI were more likely to be older (mean age: 51.54 years vs. 48.06 years, p <0.0001). The proportion of subjects with laryngeal disease was higher in those with HZI than in those without HZI (55.55% vs. 41.37%, p <0.0001). Laryngeal disease was significantly associated with HZI in multiple regression analysis (odds ratio (OR) = 1.77, 95% confidence interval: 1.71–1.84) after adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, cerebral stroke, and depression. Among laryngeal disease subgroups, inflammatory disease (OR = 1.05; 95% CI: 1.01–1.09) and reflux (OR = 1.20; 95% CI: 1.15–1.25) were associated with HZI. Conclusions HZI is independently associated with laryngitis. Results of this study have implications for etiological investigations and prevention strategies for laryngitis.

“…Laryngeal tuberculosis presentation may varies from isolated glottis involvement such as vocal cord mass or involvement of supraglottic mass including arytenoids, aryepiglottic fold or epiglottis 3 . Till now there are few case reported as laryngeal TB presented with upper airway obstruction 4 . In developing country like Malaysia, although vaccination of BCG given to children as part of the immunization, the incidence of TB is rising, mostly attributed by the influx of immigrants from other Asian countries and immunocompromised state such as in AIDS patients 5 .…”
