AB We report on a 12-year-old girl infected with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) who developed oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). This is the
fifth child with OHL whose case has been described so far. The clinical
diagnosis was confirmed by ultrastructural documentation of a
herpes-type virus in the lesional scraping specimen. Exfoliative
material was obtained by a painless and noninvasive procedure. We
conclude that ultrastructural examination of lingual exfoliative
cytological specimens from clinically suspected OHL is a noninvasive and
painless method for confirming the clinical diagnosis of OHL.
