AB Periodontal tissues were evaluated for linear gingival erythema in 724
HIV-seropositive and 275 demographically similar HIV-seronegative
military personnel at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Positive scores
were recorded for facial and lingual surfaces of marginal gingival
tissues exhibiting a continuous > or = 1 mm wide band of erythema
extending from the mesial to distal line angle of teeth. 366 (50.6%)
HIV-seropositive and 38 (13.8%) HIV-seronegative subjects displayed > or
= 1 surfaces with linear gingival erythema (OR = 6.4; 95% CI = 4.4,
9.5). Among subjects with linear gingival erythema, the mean numbers of
affected surfaces (5.4 vs. 2.6) and mean % of affected surfaces per
total surfaces at risk (10.7 vs. 4.6) were significantly higher in
HIV-seropositives as compared to seronegatives (P < 0.05, t-test). While
level of immunosuppression as measured by Walter Reed stage showed no
influence, smoking was associated with increased severity of linear
gingival erythema in HIV-positives (P = 0.02, t-test). Linear gingival
erythema was over 5 times more prevalent with HIV infection.
