[Manifestations of HIV infection in the oral cavity].
Affections in the oral cavity are important clinical markers of HIV infection and may, in fact, be the first clinical manifestation of undiagnosed HIV positivity. These affections include infections, tumours, conditions caused by direct HIV activity, as well as adverse side-affects of antiretroviral and other antimicrobial drugs. The paper lists disorders of the mouth that can complicate HIV infection and manifestations of HIV infection in the oral cavity. Accompanied by photographs of the oral cavity of patients treated at the Dept of infectious diseases.
