Cytomegalovirus Infection of Laryngeal Nerve Presenting as Hoarseness in Pts with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Am J Med 86:108-110, Small,P.M.,et al, 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Cytomegalovirus(CMV)infection is by far the most common opportunistic viral infection in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) and has been reported to involve virtually every organ in the body.Though difficult to treat,some limited success has been observed with ganciclovir therapy for CMV retinitis and gastrointestinal disease.We encountered two patients with AIDS in whom hoarseness developed due to CMV involvement of the recurrent laryngeal nerve during administration of ganciclovir for CMV colitis.
