The clinical characteristics of laryngopharyngeal diseases of these cases were analyzed and summarized.

There were 21 cases with acute and chronic congestion and swelling in pharynx and larynx and 13 cases with white fungus moss attachment.

There were 7 cases with vocal cord paralysis, including 6 cases with hoarseness and 1 case with dysphagia. One case were found tonsillar grade Ⅲ enlargement due to immune reconstruction. Among the 82 patients, 79 patients were treated with systemic highly active antiroviral therapy (HAART) or local targeted treatment of throat diseases, 69 of whom were treated with systemic HAART and 68 cases were given local targeted treatment; while 3 patients without systemic HAART or local treatment. Results of 79 patients with treatment were 61 cases with effective, 14 cases with ineffective and 4 cases died. Three cases without systemic or local treatment did not get better.
