The goal of our research was to determine the frequency of oral manifestations among the new revealed HIV-infected persons in 2016. For this we studied the database of the AIDS Center and we explored a certain group of patients with oral manifestations and carried out according to the dental examination. The results are: In 2016 totally were found out 719 new cases of HIV infections in a various stages: 11 (1,53%±8,02%) were Acute stage,130 (18.08%±2.12%) -Asymptomatic stage, 361 (50,21%±0.996%) – Symptomatic Non-AIDS, 214 (29,76%±1.54%) –AIDS, just 3 (0,42%15,4%) – NonAIDS/unknown state. Among of them HIV-associated oral manifestations were found in 245 (34.07%1.39%) patients. We investigated 125 (51,02%0,97%) cases and as a result: 69 (55.2%0.9%) were oral candidiasis, 37 25,52%1,71%)manifestati ons were caused by herpes-vi rus. 9 (6,21%±3,89%) of them were oral hairy leukoplakia, 8 (5,52%±4,13%) - gingivitis and periodontitis, Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma - just 1 (0,14%±26,7%) case and Kaposi’s Sarcoma also 1 (0,14%±26,7%) in the year.

Hairy Leukoplakia

Several opportunistic infections associated with immunosuppression are noted to occur secondary to an altered relationship between host and organism. In relation to diminished host immunologic defenses, associated commensal organisms may evolve to a pathogen state. Candidiasis. a common oral marker disease reflective of immunosuppression, results from dysfunction of complex cellular interactions keyed by depressed T-cell activity or function. Certain viral infections may also serve as probable markers of immunosuppression. One such infection is typified by the development of oral hairy leukoplakia, a condition highly correlated to HIV infection in most, but not all, patients. Detection of Epstein-Barr virus particles and subsequent molecular analytic verification of such and the absence of other potential viral candidates, such as papilloma and human immunodeficiency viruses, have led to a general acceptance of this virus as the cause of this condition.

Objective: to review the literature on the most common oral lesions in HIV-infected children. Material and Methods: a literature review was performed in Medical Literature (PubMed/Medline) and Health Virtual Library (HVL) databases from 2000 to 2015. Results: there were 163 papers and 11 were selected according with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Oral candidiasis was the most prevalent oral lesion followed by aphthous ulcerations, linear gingival erythema and oral hairy leukoplakia. Conclusion: despite advances in the disease treatment with the introduction of potent antiretroviral therapy, oral manifestations remain frequent in HIV-infected patients, with candidiasis being the most common finding. The review showed the importance of the dentist in the identification and early treatment of these lesions.

<p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background: </span></strong>The main aim of this study was to find out the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations in a selected regional population of 100 HIV infected patients, to identify the commoner ENT manifestations among them and to make these manifestations, a guide for regional ENT surgeons, to diagnose HIV/AIDS patients early and to treat them accordingly.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Methods: </span></strong>The study was a prospective study which was conducted for a period of five years which included 100 HIV seropositive patients, among the patients attending the Outpatient Department of the Otorhinolaryngology and anti-retroviral therapy centre across Government Hospitals in Tamil Nadu according to our inclusion or exclusion criteria. Detailed ENT clinical examination as well as laboratory investigations were carried out to evaluate the nature of ENT presentations of HIV infection.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results: </span></strong>Out of the 100 HIV positive patients, who had some form of ENT symptoms, the most common ENT manifestation in HIV/AIDS was oral candidiasis (40%) followed by cervical lymphadenopathy (30%). Other common manifestations are oral herpes simplex and sensorineural hearing loss. Less common manifestations are chronic sinusitis, tuberculous laryngitis, chronic otitis media, oral hairy leukoplakia, nasal polyps and Kaposi’s sarcoma. Oral candidiasis, chronic/recurrent mucocutaneous herpes simplex, oral hairy leukoplakia and Kaposi’s sarcoma are the AIDS defining illnesses. Oral hairy leukoplakia, is pathognomonic of HIV infection.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions: </span></strong>These manifestations help ENT surgeons, to recognize HIV/AIDS patients from the specific ENT lesions occurring in them, for early diagnosis and subsequent treatment.</p>
