AB Oral candidiasis is one of the earliest and most common signs of HIV
infection, suggesting that the oral cavity may be a reservoir of yeast
colonization in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals.
In this study 1168 samples taken from the gingival sulci of 237 Bronx
methadone clinic patients were assayed for yeasts. Of these patients,
143 were male, 94 female. 142 were HIV-, 95 were HIV+. TABULAR DATA, SEE
ABSTRACT VOLUME. C. albicans was the most frequently cultured organism
in all groups, with C. tropicalis second. While virtually all samples
from HIV+ patients grew out fungal organisms, 72.5% of HIV- patients
also grew out fungal organisms. Many patients in both groups showed two
or more species. Detailed analysis will be correlated with the possible
role of the gingival sulcus as a fungal storage area in both
immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals.
