Laryngitis

(-ji'tīs.) [FromGr. larygz, the throat.] (Med.) A disease of the larynx, which in some measure resembles croup; but is usually devoid of the peculiar sonorous inspiration which attends the latter. While croup attacks children, L. is a disease of more advanced life. It requires the most active treatment. [s. 529] IMG:p0574_0.jpg:Gravür
