AB Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG), necrotizing ulcerative
periodontitis (NUP), and necrotizing stomatitis (NS), collectively
termed necrotizing gingivostomatitis (NG), represent a dramatic, but
rare oral infection associated with diminished systemic resistance,
including HIV infection. Over a 5-year period, 68 consecutive NG
patients from a population with known HIV status were evaluated and
treated. Lesions were staged (modified Pindborg), and clinical findings
and predictor variables were compared to 68 random control subjects
without NG. Most cases (52%) were stage 1, with necrosis of the tip of
the interdental papilla only; 19% were stage 2, with the entire papilla
affected; 22% had necrosis of marginal (stage 3) or attached gingiva
(stage 4); and 7% were more advanced, with mucosal necrosis or bone
exposure. Attachment loss was a feature of stage 2 or greater NG. Beside
HIV infection, significant predisposing factors included poor oral
hygiene, unusual life stress, inadequate sleep, Caucasian race, age 18
to 21 years, and recent illness. Ten of 68 NG patients were
HIV-positive. These patients were older than seronegative patients, less
likely to be Caucasian, and maintained better oral hygiene and sleep.
HIV-positive NG cases were clinically indistinguishable from
HIV-negative cases in this series.
