Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether any relationship exists between the occurrence of oral lesions and opportunistic systemic diseases among HIV-infected subjects. A cross-sectional analytical study was performed in two hundred and seventy-eight HIV-infected heterosexual persons and intravenous drug users (IVDUs)(230 males and 48 females, aged 16-65 years, mean 31.9 years). Eighty-six HIV-free subjects from the same population were included as controls (61 males and 25 females, aged 17-63 years, mean age 33.1 years). The following information was recorded for each patient: age, gender, risk group and stage of HIV infection, immune status, medication, systemic disease and presence of oral lesions. Oral candidiasis was the most common oral lesion among HIV-infected individuals (40%), followed by hairy leukoplakia (HL)(26%). The three most common systemic diseases among the subjects were tuberculosis (TB)(53%), cryptococcosis (14%) and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP)(11%). Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between the occurrence of TB and the presence of oral candidiasis (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.6-4.8; P < 0.001), and the occurrence of PCP and the presence of HL (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.1-4.3; P...Continue Reading
