“…3). O H L is no longer recognized as a disease limited to any one group of HIV-infected individuals (homosexuals/bisexuals) since its presence has been reported in those subjected to other risk factors for HIV such as hemophilia and intravenous drug use [30,31] Certain characteristics related to O H L have been clarified and warrant mention. Initially, O H L was believed to be related to h u m a n papillomavirus because of the presence of kailocytes in the germinal and basal layers of biopsy specimens [33].…”

HIV-associated oral lesions have been reported since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, be they fungal, viral, bacterial, neoplastic, or non-specific in origin. The most common lesions are oral candidiasis (OC; noted in several forms) and oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). OC appears to be directly related to levels of immunosuppression while OHL, a newly described lesion, is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus. Although prevalence data for all types of oral lesions are scarce, this review identifies and describes those reported most often. Lesions associated with HIV may appear on most oral mucosal surfaces and may differ from those seen on other body areas. The role of saliva in reducing the potential for transmission of the HIV virus appears to be significant. Physicians and dentists should cooperate in the management of the HIV patient who has oral disease.

“…These are white, verrucous, confl uent plaques most commonly located on the lateral aspects of the tongue, which do not scrape off with a tongue depressor. EBV infection plays an important role in production of this lesion, although HPV and Candida are also frequently present (Ficarra et al 1988 ;Scully et al 1998 ;Patton 2013 ). Bacillary angiomatosis is a systemic infections caused by Bartonella henselae or B. quintana .…”

“…Wyniki wczesnych badań wskazywały na występowanie OHL u pacjentów homoseksualnych, jednak po stwierdzeniu zmian w innych grupach ryzyka okazało się, że OHL jest markerem zakażenia wirusem HIV [5,6].

ABSTRACT:Oral hairy leukoplakia is a lesion that generally occurs within the tongue. It is characterized by a white patch on the side of the tongue with a corrugated or hairy appearance. The OHL affects patients with HIV infection and has characteristics that differ from oral leukoplakia. The etiology of oral hairy leukoplakia is linked to the infection of epithelial cells by Epstein-Barr virus. The objective of this paper was to report a case of atypical oral hairy leukoplakia in a patient with HIV infection. A male patient, 43 years old, was hospitalized complaining of abdominal pain and symptoms suggestive of jaundice. A white plaque was identified on his tongue during a clinical examination. That lesion was painless and not removable by scraping. A liquid-based cytology was performed and cytological analysis revealed structures suggestive of Candida sp. and cytological changes consistent with oral hairy leukoplakia (Cowdry type A inclusion bodies, and ground-glass nuclei). Exfoliative cytology is a reliable test that can be used by a dentist and otolaryngologists to determine the diagnosis of atypical cases of oral hairy leukoplakia.
