title: [Mouth and pharyngeal hyperalgesic syndromes in AIDS].
abstract: In a series of 12 patients suffering from an HIV infection, including 9 with confirmed AIDS, who complained about pharyngeal pain in a fixed site, having a progressive intensity and not relieved by antalgics and the specific treatments that were prescribed empirically, and for whom etiological investigation yielded negative results, Thalidomide proved to be the only effective means of healing the exulcerated, nail-mark lesions or the ulcerated, budding, neoplastic-like lesions, and of completely suppressing pain.
