  • Oral pathology of HIV infection and treatment = Patologija ustne votline in zdravljenje pacientov okuženih z virusom HIV
    Scully, Crispian
    Oral lesions are common in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV), are often the presenting feature, and may herald deteoration in the general health and a poor prognosis. A wide ... range of oral lesions can be seen, notably fungal and viral infections. An overall picture of oral disease in the whole spectrum of HIV infection and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has emerged, with a restricted series of fairly common oral lesions such as candidiasis, viral infections including hairy leukoplakia, gingival and periodontal disease and Kaposi's sarcoma However, a panoply of less common lesions can also be seen. Any treatment regimes used in persons with HIV infection should avoid further immunosuppression, avoid cariogenic agents (such as sucrose-containing medications), avoid agents aggravating symptoms such as xerostomia and must take into account adverse drug reactions and possible drug interactions, as well as the immune defect and bleeding tendency. Management of the HIV-infected person is a team approach and there should adways be close collaboration with the responsible appropriate colleagues, particularly when the oral lesions are not in isolation. Many of the oral lesions seen in HIV infection regress or clear during treatment with anti-HIV agents. This paper reviews the more common oral lesions and their management.
