Oral manifestations of HIV infection in 75 Dutch patients.
Seventy-five consecutive HIV-infected patients, including 33 AIDS cases were examined. One or more oral mucosal lesions were observed in 57 (76%); candidiasis was the most common finding (52%). Others included hairy leukoplakia (16%), periodontal disease (16%) and Kaposi's sarcoma (4%). Diversity of study design and methods allowed no reliable comparison with other reports.
