title: [ORL manifestations observed in AIDS. Apropos of 65 cases].
abstract: We realized a clinical study in 65 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, aged from 3 to 62 years old (mean, 34 years) (34 males and 31 females) interned or showed in consultations at the hospital Gabriel Touré in Bamako, Mali (departments of ENT diseases and of internal medicine), in order to analyse and to state precisely different otorhinolaryngologic manifestations in AIDS. Oropharyngeal candidiasis was the most prevalent otorhinolaryngologic manifestation (57 %). Other less common lesions were suppurative otitis media (29 %), atrophic pharyngitis (18,5 %), sinusitis (11 %), Kaposi's sarcoma (5 %) localized above all on the palate: they are however a frequent sign of infection by HIV. The manifestations merit a particular attention by otorhinolaryngologist because, although they have few influence on the general evolution of the disease, they appear as additional manifestations of infectious risks in AIDS patients.
