AB A follow-up study included the oral examination of 39 persons known to
be infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. In addition to the
other human immunodeficiency virus-associated oral lesions, lesions
clinically similar to the smooth form of median rhomboid glossitis,
which is now believed to be erythematous candidiasis located in the
dorsum of the tongue, were found in seven patients (18%). Patients with
median rhomboid glossitis were classified in different stages of the
Centers for Disease Control 1986 classification system and showed an
average of CD+4 cell counts 397.5/mm3. Also the presence or the absence
of anti-p24 antibodies in the serum and stimulated whole saliva of the
patients with median rhomboid glossitis did not correlate with the stage
of the disease or with low levels of CD+4 cell counts as in other forms
of oral candidiasis. Therefore our results suggest that median rhomboid
glossitis should be included as a distinct form of oral candidiasis in
the classification of the oral manifestations of infection with the
human immunodeficiency virus.
