Prevalence of stomathologycal lesions notably changed after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This event is testify by international scientific literature. Purpose of this study is to diagnose and to register by statistic analysis HIV oral manifestations comparing in two independent populations. Study Design: Stomathologycal lesions were diagnosticated in HIV/AIDS patients by the same oral specialist. They were attended in our Service during two observation periodes (OP): 1988-1996 and 1997-2004, 12 th hours/week and 6 hours/week respectively. Confirmation of clinic diagnoses was made by citology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and PCR, according to each pathogenesis. Both time's periodes were compare for each pathology by "Comparison Method per Proportions" (independent munsters) with a signification level: p<0.05. Data were processed with EPIDAT, version 3 (YUNTA OF GALICIA-OPS/OMS). Results: OP1=2873 pathologies, OP2=520. Comparison in both OPs was: statistical signification p<0.05: Eritematous and Pseudomembranous Candidiasis (EC),PSC), Hairy leukoplakia (HL), Recidivant aphtous ulcers (RAU), Angular Cheilitis (ACH), Papilloma Human Virus (HPV), Herpes Virus (HV), and Non-Hodking Limphoma (NHL). Withow statistic significance: Acute necrotizing gingivitis (ANUG) and Kaposi Sarkoma. (KS). In the second OP, RAU, HPV and HSV shawed significantly statistic differences, specially RAU with 44,2% of prevalence. Conclusions: 1) Our results could confirm declining prevalence of most of oral manifestations of HIV infection in HAART era. 2) We stand out the significance of RAU, HPV and HSV prevalences in the last period of time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
