Oral lesions and systemic diseases in HIV-infected subjects
2011
diseases were diarrhea (36.6%), HPV infection (24.4%), genital herpes (18.3%), gonorrhea (14.6%), herpes zoster virus infection (13.4%), toxoplasmosis (13.4%) and syphilis (12.2%). A significant association was found between oral lesions and systemic diseases (p = 0.005) and particularly with diarrhea (p = 0.010). There was a significant association between oral candidiasis and systemic diseases (p = 0.030), STDs (p = 0.039), diarrhea (p = 0.023), Pneumocytis jiroveci pneumonia (p=0.014) and furunculosis (p = 0.014). The results indicate high prevalence of oral lesions in conjunction with similar prevalence of systemic diseases; oral candidiasis and systemic infections were noted especially.
