AB INTRODUCTION: To describe oral lesions most commonly seen in HIV+ as
well as their most relevant social features. METHODS: 584 HIV+ patients
charts were reviewed from a dental clinic. Full medical history was
obtained and an intraoral exam was performed on the first day of
admission. Data such as education, profession, risk activity, age, sex,
marital status, oral lesions, CDC classification and place of residence
were collected. RESULTS: Most were males (85.3%), mean age was 34.1
years (SD = 8.7), most were single (77.7%), living far away from our
referal center (87.0%) and had high school degree (39.2%). 316 (54.1%)
patients had at least one oral lesion. Most common lesions found were
pseudomembranous (65.8%) and atrophic (27.8%) candidiasis, angular
cheilitis (19.6%) and hairy leucoplakia (17.4%). Periodontal and
gengival disease were seldomly seen (6.3%). Most patients (78.7%) were
classified as group IV and 97.9% of these had oral manifestations.
CONCLUSIONS: Brazil has no epidemiological data on dental care available
for HIV+ patients. Our data stresses the paramount importance of the
linkage between medical and dental personnel in the diagnosis and
clinical management of HIV infection.
