Abstract

A rare laryngitis patient who had no obvious inducement to severe laryngeal pain but had silent hoarseness, laryngoscopy showed only herpes, congestion and edema in the laryngeal cavity mucosa. After intravenous administration of acyclovir and methylprednisolone, the symptoms of laryngeal pain were significantly alleviated on the same day and recovered in 5 days. Through the diagnosis and treatment of this patient, it is suggested that Coxsackie virus B can only invade the laryngeal cavity mucosa and sensory nerve endings without invading the vocal cords.
