“…Although our study was directed towards OHL, the presence of oral candidiasis and OHL was also verified, simultaneously, as being the two most common oral lesions in HIV‐infected adults. The association between the presence of OHL and oral candidiasis verified in this study has also been observed in many other studies in the US and Europe (2, 3, 5, 38, 39).…”

“…Moreover, metallic taste might be elicited by oral yeast infections (29), burning mouth syndrome (30), damage by stapedectomy or anesthesia of the chorda tympani (31,32), artificial sweeteners (33), and dental amalgam fillings (34). These factors may have influenced the prevalence of metallic taste in the current study.…”

A metallic taste is reported by cancer patients as a side effect of systemic therapy. Despite the high prevalence, this taste alteration has received limited attention. The present study investigated: 1) the prevalence of metallic taste in cancer patients treated with systemic therapy; 2) possible predictors of metallic taste; and 3) characteristics of metallic taste. A heterogeneous population of 127 cancer patients, who had received systemic treatment in the past year or were still on treatment, completed a questionnaire developed for this study. Fifty-eight of 127 (46%) patients reported taste changes in the preceding week. Of these patients, 20 (34%) reported a metallic taste. Patients treated with chemotherapy, concomitant radiotherapy, as well as targeted therapy reported metallic taste. Women experienced metallic taste more often than men. Patients experiencing a metallic taste also reported more frequently that they were bothered by sour food and that everything tasted bitter. The experience of metallic taste was highly variable among patients. In conclusion, metallic taste is a frequently experienced taste alteration by cancer patients. Patients treated with chemotherapy, concomitant radiotherapy, and targeted therapy are all at risk for this taste alteration. However, not all patients reported this alteration as bothersome.

“…They may alter facial appearance, impair speech, and cause difficulty with swallowing, which may lead to significant weight loss. The management of the oral manifestations of HIV infection in North America and Europe has been extensively reviewed (Greenspan and Shirlaw, 1997;Shirlaw et al, 2002). Protocols for the resourcepoor setting are reviewed in Question 4 of this workshop.…”

The workshop considered five questions reviewing the identification of international oral health care needs of children and adults, and the management of oral diseases in resource-poor countries: (1) What is the role of the dental profession in the management of the HIV-infected individual? (2) Identifying health care needs-What are the epidemiology and disparities of HIV-associated oral lesions in children from different continents? (3) How effective is HIV treatment in controlling oral diseases? (4) Could we develop basic inexpensive oral and dental care protocols for economically deprived HIV-infected patients? and (5) What is the best method of arranging resources to meet the oral health care needs of people with HIV disease? The consensus of the workshop participants was that there is a need to re-target research efforts to non-established market economy countries and prioritize research in these regions to children with HIV disease. It will be important to assess commonalities and variations in oral health needs across geographical and cultural boundaries, and research efforts should be centralized in resource-poor countries to support multi-center longitudinal standardized studies. It is essential that oral health research be integrated into other health care research programs, to make these research priorities and public health initiatives feasible.
