“…Voice-disordered populations are regularly examined by Otolaryngologists during their daily clinical practice. The etiology of a voice disorder may vary due to changes of the laryngeal structure [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. For the diagnosis of a voice disorder there is a plenty of clinical voice assessments [6], different types of protocols [7], methods [8] and classifications [9] in the literature.…”

Objective(s): The cutting-edge assessment of voice disorders includes objective and subjective methods in the daily clinical practice. The latter assessment is usually performed through the administration of self-reported questionnaires. Voice Handicap Index (VHI) is one of the most widely used tools both in clinical practice and in research level. This tool-questionnaire was employed in this research along with the Voice Evaluation Template (VEF). In turn, the aim of this study was to analyse and produce the cutoff points of VHI for voice-disordered patients in Greece by using Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves (ROC Curves). Methods: Sixty-three participants (40 non-dysphonic and 23 with different types of dysphonia) were classified by ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctors and SLPs (Speech-Language Pathologists). The Hellenic VHI along with the translated Greek version of the VEF was administered to the subjects of this research. Results: The voice-disordered subjects exhibited higher overall VHI scores (in total and in its 3 subdomains) compared to the control group. Statistical significant differences were found between dysphonic and non-dysphonic participants for all VHI's construct domains. The cutoff point of VHI total score was estimated at the value of 14.50 (sensitivity: 0.870, 1-specificity: 0.000). Moreover, the cutoff points of the three subdomains were computed as 7.

Laryngeal histoplasmosis is a very rare cause of laryngitis which is encountered usually in the immunosuppressed states but can also occur in immunologically intact status. We report a rare case of laryngeal histoplasmosis in a man in his 60s, a chronic smoker who presented with a history of progressive hoarseness for 3 months. The glottic growth was biopsied. The rarity of diagnosis was aided by histopathological examination of the tissue, which revealed histoplasmosis. Management was done with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B and oral itraconazole with complete resolution of symptoms.
