[The case of a great pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy in a twenty-one-year-old patient infected with HIV virus].
Seropositive patients quite often demonstrate symptoms in the area of the head and neck, among which should be mentioned opportunistic infections, neoplasms--Kaposi's sarcoma, as well as progressive generalized lymphadenopathy. These patients quite often complain about difficulties in breathing through the nose as well as of recrudescent auricular inflammation. The authors present descriptions of a great pharyngeal and palatal tonsillar hypertrophy in a twenty-one-year-old patient infected with HIV virus.
