“…9,10 Here productive age group (31 to 41) is the predominant affected group (50%). Even though heterosexual route (71%) is the commonest mode of transmission in our study, most of our patients are males (65%) in contrast to a study by Sen et al 11 The commonest oral lesion noted in our study is oral candidiasis (50%) as in a study by Lamster et al 12 Erythematous candidiasis is more frequently noted in the immune suppressed group whose CD4 count <200. Thus it has got prognostic value as suggested by Kerdpon et al 13,14 In contrast to oral herpes, oral hairy leucoplakia (7.7%) is noted only in immune suppressed status.…”

Background: Oral lesions are the earliest and most important indicators of HIV infection. These lesions may be present in up to 50% of people with HIV infection. The lesions parallel the decline in number of CD4+ cells and an increase in viral load, and are also independent indicators of disease progression. Pseudomembranous candidiasis and hairy leukoplakia are considered as the most common lesion associated with HIV infection.Methods: This cross sectional descriptive study was done in our ENT op during the period of 3 years. All HIV reactive patients who came to our OPD were included in the study. Oral examination was carried out using Bull’s eye lamp. Results: Totally 123 patients of HIV came to ENT OPD during the period of 3 years. Among them 52 patients (42.5%) showed one or many oral lesions. The presence of oral lesions has a significant impact on health related quality of life. The commonest oral lesion noted in our study is oral candidiasis (50%).Conclusions: Early detection of oral lesions must be emphasized in the diagnosis and early management of HIV patients.

“…Folliculitis was the most common manifestations (6.6%). This was comparable with the study by Sud et al and Srikant KP et al, 8% of folliculitis lesions were reported [9,10]. The mean CD4 count in bacterial infection was 220.2 cells/cu mm, this was reported to be 245.33 cells/cu mm by Jing et al [11].…”

Introduction: Skin disorders are common manifestations of HIV disease. A study was conducted to find the correlation between the degree of immunosuppression and the incidence of specific skin disorders in patients with HIV infection. Materials and methods: Study was conducted in the department of dermatology, SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack from October 2010 to September 2012. Random sampling was considered in this study. Referred patients, after pretest counseling at ICTC Centre, were included and individuals who are on antiretroviral treatment were excluded. Relevant diagnostic tests were performed like scraping and KOH examination for the diagnosis of dermatophytoses and candidiasis, Tzanck smear for herpes infection, Darkfield microscopy for diagnosis of a syphilitic ulcer, Biopsy is done wherever required. CD4 count was done as per the guidelines. Results: A total of 150 (100%) participants were included, the male-female ratio was 1.8. Age-wise, 57% (85) were included in 31-45 group and 15% were unmarried. Fungal infections constitute 17.9% of total mucocutaneous disorders followed by bacterial infections (10.5%), viral (8.09%) and parasitic (6.7%) infestations. Conclusion: Age group, 31-45 years is the commonest for HIV infection. Fungal infections (dermatoses) of the skin were most common followed by bacterial folliculitis, herpes zoster, and scabies. Except for viral infections, the mean CD4 counts were <200cells/cu mm.

“…OHL is a benign lesion of the oral mucosa related to infection by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is generally observed in immunocompromised patients, in particular HIV-positive individuals [3], and may be an early sign of HIV infection when the patient’s serological status has not yet been identified [2,4]. The recognition of early signs of immune suppression may have a significant impact on the treatment decisions for HIV infection as well as on patients’ survival and their quality of life [4].…”

Oral lesions are common in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, which may indicate impairment of the patient’s general health status, and, in many cases, the oral lesions are the first sign of an HIV infection. Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is a benign lesion of the oral mucosa related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) observed in HIV-positive individuals. The aim of this study was to report the contribution of oral cytopathology in the investigation of the HIV/AIDS status of patients as well as in the clinical and subclinical identification of OHL. Three patients were referred to the Oral Medicine Clinic in 2010. The patients were submitted to oral examination, and scrapes of the tongue were obtained. The Papanicolaou staining technique was used, and cytopathological analysis showed nuclear changes corresponding to cytopathic effects of EBV epithelial infection and candidiasis. The final diagnosis was OHL and candidiasis. Based on cytopathological diagnosis, an HIV serologic test was requested which revealed positive HIV serology. None of the patients was aware of their HIV serological status, and thus the cytopathology, by identifying OHL, contributed to the early diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. Cytopathology should be used as a routine procedure and it may be the method of choice for clinical and subclinical OHL diagnosis.
