Pathologic manifestations of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in the head and neck.
Various diseases of the head and neck that appear in association with AIDS have been delineated. These diseases may be the initial manifestations of AIDS or may be part of systemic involvement following HIV infection. Both clinicians and pathologists must be aware of the protean manifestations of AIDS in order to establish an accurate and complete diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established, therapy, which may potentially enhance the quality of life of the infected individual, can be initiated.
