Dental implants in the HIV-positive patient--case report and review of the literature.

PubMed (2005)

Kishore Shetty Ronald Achong

The association between HIV infection and the success of osseointegrated dental implants is unknown. Recent reports in the dental literature show no difference between HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients in terms of infection rate after surgical procedures. A case report documenting the successful placement and osseointegration of eight endosseous dental implants in an HIV-positive patient is presented. This article also reviews the complications of implant procedures and the outcomes of surgical procedures in HIV-positive patients.

Chronic craniofacial dematiaceous fungal infection: A case report

Special Care in Dentistry (2006)

Kishore Shetty Peter J. Giannini Ronald Achong

ABSTRACT Curvularia is a saprobic dematiaceous mold that has been associated with a wide spectrum of human infection. In non‐immunosuppressed patients, infections frequently involve the paranasal sinus, skin, and soft tissue, whereas systemic dissemination and endocarditis are extremely rare. The optimal antifungal therapy for Curvularia infection is not known, and responses to treatment with amphotericin B, miconazole, ketoconazole, terbinafine, and itraconazole have been reported. We describe a patient with an invasive dematiaceous fungal sinusitis who was immunocompetent and was infected with Curvularia . The patient was successfully treated with oral itraconazole by otolaryngology and the infectious disease service.
