Oral manifestations of an HIV positive cohort in the era of highly active anti‐retroviral therapy (HAART) in South London

Abstract

The prevalence of so called 'strongly associated' oral lesions of HIV is low in this South London HIV-infected population on HAART, and the relative frequency is different from that cited in the literature from the pre-HAART era. The oral lesions detected were found mostly in people with low CD4 counts and high HIV-1 RNA viral loads, suggesting they were very immunocompromised, not on, or declining therapy, or that their therapy was failing.

Detection of the Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) by In situ Hybridization as Definitive Diagnosis of Hairy Leukoplakia

“…Since the emergence of AIDS, the diagnosis of HIV-related oral lesions has been important to the diagnosis, monitoring, and staging of the syndrome. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) became available in 1996, resulting in a substantial decrease in the incidence and severity of opportunistic infections of the oral cavity [31][32][33].…”

Aspectos micológicos e suscetibilidade in vitro de leveduras do gênero Candida em pacientes HIV-positivos provenientes do Estado de Mato Grosso

“…Na maioria destes indivíduos, cerca de 90%, apresentam pelo menos um episódio de COF durante o curso da AIDS, quando a contagem de linfócitos T CD 4 (+) encontra-se inferior a 200 células/mm 3 e, em muitas vezes, é detectada em episódios recorrentes 3 . Com a utilização dos novos antirretrovirais, na terapia HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy), houve uma redução na ocorrência das infecções oportunistas em geral.…”

“…Com a utilização dos novos antirretrovirais, na terapia HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy), houve uma redução na ocorrência das infecções oportunistas em geral. Porém, para os pacientes de diagnóstico tardio ou aqueles que não respondem de forma adequada ao tratamento a candidíase orofaríngea ainda é muito frequente 4,5 .…”

“…Het kaposisarcoom was een zeldzaam vasculair neoplasma, die begin jaren '80 van de vorige eeuw met de opkomst van aids veel vaker voorkwam bij individuen die geïnfecteerd waren met hiv (human immu nodeficiency virus). De prevalentie van het aidsgerelateerde kaposisarcoom is met de introductie van de 'highly active antiretroviral therapy' (HAART) in de jaren '90 weer gedaald (Schmidt-Westhausen et al, 2000;Eyeson et al, 2002 Behandeling is symptomatisch of om eventuele esthetische redenen en kan bestaan uit excisie, intralesionale injectie met een chemotherapeuticum of lokale radiatie (Becker en Bottke, 2006;Fatahzedeh en Schwartz, 2013).…”
