Overview

Laryngitis may be the result of infectious or noninfectious causes. The most common causes of laryngitis are due to viral infections, and include rhinovirus, adenovirus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus. Common bacterial causes of laryngitis include Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes of laryngitis include anthrax. Life-threatening causes may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

Common causes of laryngitis include:
