• Weakness

  Pharyngeal mucosa could bulge through the weak spots in the cricopharyngeus and thyropharyngeus muscles that are located at the top of the food pipe. [buzzle.com]

  Pharyngeal weakness significantly affects bolus transport. [nature.com]

  Mostly it is the larynx that is unable to close either due to weakness of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles or weakness of the extrinsic muscles that lift the larynx and allow it to contract (for instance after neck radiation or surgery). [radiologyassistant.nl]

  Phonation is usually preserved, even in advanced disease; however, absence of stridor is probably more related to weakness of the respiratory muscles than to the narrowed glottis. [entandallergy.com]

  Idiopathic UES dysfunction could be related to the degeneration of the nervous system and the weakness or atrophy of oropharyngeal muscles that might become insufficient to pull the sphincter open that frequently occurs in old age. [hon.ch]

• Candidiasis

  Oral candidiasis as a marker for esophageal candidiasis in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Ann Intern Med 1986;104:54-55. 89. Marelli RA, Biddinger PW, Gluckman JL. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]

  One of the more common inflammatory causes of dysphagia is candidiasis of the oral mucosa ( Figure 11 ). Candidiasis occurs in the presence of mucosal inflammation owing to other initial irritants, such as radiation therapy. [nature.com]

  While fungal infections such as those caused by Candida are typically seen in immunocompromised hosts, immune-competent individuals may develop candidiasis as well (35) (99). [entandallergy.com]

• Burning Pain

  Herpes zoster results from reactivation of the latent VZV and produces symptoms of burning pain, dysesthesia, and vesicular eruptions along the distribution of the affected nerve. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]

• Hoarseness

  Early diagnosis is common with vocal cord tumors because hoarseness develops early. [merckmanuals.com]

  Constant hoarseness while speaking is an early symptom of this type of cancer and hoarseness that lasts longer than three weeks should be evaluated by an ENT specialist (otolaryngologist). [azvent.com]

  Anything that disturbs the delicate layering, including cancer, cysts, polyps or scars disturb the normal vibration casuing hoarseness. The supraglottis consists of the epiglottis, arytenoids, and false vocal folds. [throatdisorder.com]

  When hemangiomas occur on the vocal folds or in the area underneath the voice box, hoarse cry and/or noisy breathing usually result. [voicefoundation.org]

  However, you may have the following symptoms as cancer progresses: Hoarseness and change in voice that do not go away within 2 weeks; this is the early symptom of throat cancer A lump in the neck Airway obstruction, noisy breathing Pain or difficulty [gleneaglesglobalhospitals.com]

• Aspiration

  Aspiration before, during or after the actual swallow. Aspiration There are three instances when aspiration can occur: before, during or after the actual swallow. [radiologyassistant.nl]

  Has excellent vf closure during swallow, but aspirates after swallow when he opens airway to inhale. Reduced laryngeal elevation results in residue in area of laryngeal vestibule because larynx is too low and collects food during swallow. [d.umn.edu]

  Solid food dysphagia occurs first, closely followed by aspiration of thin liquids. Tucking the chin down toward the chest while swallowing tends to shelter the laryngeal inlet under the tongue base, thereby reducing the likelihood of aspiration. [entandallergy.com]

  A three-tiered process leads to a safe swallow and prevention of aspiration. [nature.com]

• Common Cold

  Viruses that may cause conditions such as infectious mononucleosis, common cold or influenza could also be the causal organisms for this condition. Viruses are more commonly responsible for causing acute pharyngitis. [buzzle.com]

  The symptoms of the disease could be similar to the common cold or sinusitis and can include a persistent blocked nose, nosebleeds and a decreased sense of smell. [express.co.uk]

  Pharyngitis may be caused by bacterial or viral infections; however, most frequently pharyngitis is caused by the most common cold viruses (up to 60% of cases). These include parainfluenza-, adeno-, rhino- and coronaviruses. [lecturio.com]

• Dysphagia

  Therefore, the search for an organic etiology of dysphagia should be exhausted before ascribing a diagnosis of psychogenic dysphagia. [entandallergy.com]

  Psychogenic Dysphagia Psychogenic causes of dysphagia are rare, but real; however, like reflux-related dysphagia, it is important to rule out physiologic causes prior to focusing solely on the psychogenic. [nature.com]

  Optimal views of gastro-esophageal junction when air regurgitates from the stomach into the coated esophagus in a patient with a sliding hiatus hernia. [radiologyassistant.nl]

  Patients typically swallow repeatedly to clear a food bolus from the pharynx; often nasal regurgitation or choking ensues (17) (89). Management options are limited. [entandallergy.com]

  This causes nasal regurgitation of liquids and solids and hypernasal speech. [patient.info]

• Odynophagia

  Vocal cord polyps: Similar to a vocal nodule, but softer and more blister-like. Heavy smokers often experience this condition and they are often caused by an injury to the vocal folds. [azvent.com]

  Crops of "fever blisters" occur on the palate, gingiva, or other oral mucosal surfaces. Although similar to infection in non-HIV-infected patients, these lesions tend to be larger and more numerous, recur more frequently, and often persist longer. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]

• Candida

  Pneumocystis carinii, M. tuberculosis, and Candida have been cultured from the middle ear aspirates of HIV-infected patients. [hivinsite.ucsf.edu]

  While fungal infections such as those caused by Candida are typically seen in immunocompromised hosts, immune-competent individuals may develop candidiasis as well (35) (99). [entandallergy.com]

  The human immunodeficiency virus in its early stages can produce secondary Candida albicans infections and can be associated with major aphthous ulcers. [nature.com]

  A wider range of organisms can cause the disease, including aspergillus, Klebsiella, and candida when the patient is immunocompromised. Although the pathogens are similar, the disease is much more aggressive in the patient with AIDS. [ahcmedia.com]
