The sputum from the larynx is generally scanty; it isnot frothy, and is colorless and transparent; it is often discharged insmall globules; it may be streaked with blood. Sometimes pseudo-membranes are coughed up. It is doubtful if purulent sputum evercomes from the larynx, excepting in cases of perichondritis in which theabscess bursts into the larynx. Laryngeal sputum is found in catarrhsand malignant tumors. It is blood-streaked when the catarrh is veryintense, or after injuries. Fig. 27. Fig.
