We report the first recorded case of a septal perforation caused by Mycobacterium kansasii. This atypical mycobacterium is finding increasing prevalence with the increasing incidence and longevity of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infections. Cases of chest infection, sinusitis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, pericarditis, brain abscess, cutaneous and oral lesions have all now been reported.This discovery represents a rare but important differential in the aetiology of septal perforation.

Retrograde dilatation of the esophagus for lye stricture has resulted in two patients with metastatic abscesses. One patient developed a brain abscess and the other a septic arthritis. It is postulated that: 1) the pressure from esophageal dilatation may result in microscopic perforation and/or bacteremia, and 2) that high dose steroid treatment facilitates bacterial seeding by impeding the formation of protective scar tissue. It is therefore felt that a longer time duration should lapse between termination of steroid therapy and the dilatation of an esophageal stricture.

Objective: To determine the pattern and prevalence of oral lesions in HIV infected 200 costal Andhra Pradesh patients. Patients and methods: the study population comprised 200 consecutive HIV seropositive patients presented to regional ART center at Andhra Pradesh, India. The oral lesions were diagnosed based on clinical appearance and were entered in to the database for analysis. Results: 30-39 yrs age group was most commonly affected and 87% of the patients had acquired infection via heterosexual contact. Oral lesions were seen in 66% of the patients. Gingivitis (36.7% males & 33.9% females) was the most common lesion followed by candidiasis (21% males & 26.4% females), periodontitis (6.8% males & 7.5% females), pigmentation (36.7% males & 33.9% females), ulcers (2.7% males & 0% females) and leukoplakia (1.3% males & 0% females). Conclusion: The pattern of oral lesions associated with HIV infection was not markedly different form those reported in the literature, the prevalence of each type of lesion differ slightly.
