A
Acute laryngitis is usually associated with the common cold or influenza syndromes. Characte-ristically, patients complain of hoarseness and a lowering or deepening of the voice. Acute la-ryngitis is generally a benign illness and is caused almost exclusively by viruses. Although nu-merous viruses can cause laryngitis, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, rhinoviruses, adenovi-ruses, coronavirus, and human metapneumovirus are the most common etiologic agents.
