PREDISPOSING FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACUTE LARYNGITIS

Acute laryngitis is an acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx. This disease can be both independent and a manifestation of some infectious diseases (ARVI, influenza, whooping cough, etc.) or general somatic diseases (rheumatism, gout, blood diseases). The cause of acute laryngitis is an infection, the pathogens of which constantly saprophytize in the larynx and are easily activated under the influence of a number of endogenous and exogenous factors. The occurrence of acute laryngitis is facilitated by general and local hypothermia, unfavorable working conditions (dusty rooms, hot dry air, increased background noise, etc.), as well as overstrain of the vocal apparatus. The disease can also be a result of trauma, chemical and thermal burns of the larynx.
