“…in OHL lesions, either in scraped, cultured or histopathology specimens, Epstein et al 8 (1995) do not believe that OC is of etiologic importance because OHL does not resolve with aggressive antifungical therapy. Other hypotheses that have also been raised in the attempt to explain the low prevalence of OHL in children are: OHL may appear only transiently, secondary to intermittent changes in CD4 cell numbers 9 ; children are not exposed to the innumerable strains of EBV that are necessary to produce the lesion 9,19 ; OHL would be a more delayed symptom of HIV infection appearing in older children 4,23 . The clinical significance and the prognostic implications of OHL in HIV-infected children are not yet well studied 13 .…”

“…Moreover, it may be of prognostic value 4 . However, according to many authors, OHL has rarely been described in the HIV + pediatric population, with a prevalence varying from 0 to 6% 1,2,4,5,9,10,12,13,15,16,18,19,21 . The aim of this study was to verify OHL prevalence in HIV children using cytopathology.…”

“…34,35 In the setting of HIV or AIDS, 19% of children and 0.8% of adults present clinically with salivary gland enlargement caused by a wide variety of infectious, reactive, and neoplastic entities. 34,36 Salivary gland enlargement typically is an early development in the course of AIDS, often presenting as bilateral disease accompanied by cervical lymphadenopathy. 37 The most frequently reported disease is multiple lymphoepithelial cysts.…”

“…Estudos têm demonstrado (HOWELL et al, 1996;VALDEZ;PIZZO;ATKINSON, 1994) que crianças portadoras vírus da SIDA, além da prevalência da doença cárie, também costumam apresentar patologias bucais associadas à condição, relacionadas com o seu grau de imunossupressão e dentre elas a candidíase do tipo pseudomembranoso (considerada a patologia mais freqüente), sendo que sua prevalência variou entre 20,0% e 72,0% nas pesquisas realizadas por Katz et al (1993), Madigan et al (1996) Foram anotadas as lesões bucais presentes, assim como o grau de imunossupressão (grave, moderado e ausente), definido através dos prontuários médicos de cada paciente, de acordo com a Classificação da AIDS Pediátrica, CDC (1994). Após o exame bucal e os testes citados, foi determinado o nível de risco à doença cárie e iniciada a fase adequação do meio bucal através de instrução e motivação para a higiene bucal, orientação sobre dieta (os responsáveis), aplicação tópica de fluoreto de verniz fluoretado e tratamento restaurador atraumático modificado, onde se realizou a remoção do tecido cariado com instrumentos manuais em ambiente clínico.…”

“…Em contraste a tais achados, estudos recentes demonstram que a candidíase pseudomembranosa é a patologia mais comumente encontrada, sendo que sua prevalência varia entre 20,0% e 72,0% (KATZ et al, 1993;MADIGAN et al, 1996;VALDEZ;PIZZO;ATKINSON, 1994).…”
