Oral mucosal ulceration due to cytomegalovirus associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Case report and brief review.
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.
