title: Oral mucosal ulceration due to cytomegalovirus associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Case report and brief review.
abstract: Reports of oral lesions associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients are uncommon. In this article a case of CMV infection associated with oral mucosal ulceration and a brief review of the subject is presented. Establishing the cause of ulceration is important in determining a definitive diagnosis and prescribing appropriate therapy. It is important to recognize that CMV associated oral mucosal ulceration may be the initial manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
