title: [Otorhinolaryngologic manifestations in patients infected by the acquired immunodeficiency virus].
abstract: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection often present signs and symptoms referable to the head and neck. We reviewed the clinical histories of 110 HIV-positive patients who presented head and neck manifestations. 48 (43.6%) had head and neck signs and/or symptoms as initial manifestation of the syndrome. 40 (36.3%) had oral candidiasis, 18 (16.36%) Kaposi's sarcoma, 11 (10%) herpes, 5 (4.5%) hairy leucoplakia and 4 (3.6%) lymphoma.
