“…in children, and Candida albicans was the most prevalent isolate. In addition, a wide range of Candida species was isolated from the oral cavity in three groups of children examined in the present study as well as in the studies of Domaneschi et al 4 , Gaitón-Cepeda et al 9 , Komiyama et al 15 , and Cerqueira et al 16 . The study of Komiyama et al 15 showed an increased prevalence of Candida non-albicans species isolated from the oral cavity of children predisposed to opportunistic infections and in the control group.…”

“…In the present study, the Candida species considered the most important clinically and that are emerging were isolated from the oral cavity of children exposed and non-exposed to HIV and of children with AIDS. The same species were also isolated from HIV-positive and HIV-negative children by Cerqueira et al 16 . The correct identification of the yeast species has great clinical and epidemiological relevance and indicates the species that are resistant to conventionally antifungal agents used in clinical practice [16][17][18][19] .…”

Similar to the results of this study, Domaneschi et al 4 and Cerqueira et al 16 identified Candida tropicalis, C. kefyr, C. krusei, and C. glabrata isolates from the oral cavity of HIV-positive children and children with AIDS treated at a hospital in São Paulo.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of Candida albicans and non-albicans yeast species isolated from oral samples of children with AIDS and of children exposed and not exposed to HIVduring pregnancy and served by the public health system in a county located in the interior of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Methods Saliva samples from 50 children aged between 2 and 12 years treated by SUS (group I = control group, group II = group exposed to HIV without seroconversion, and group III = AIDS carriers) were collected, seeded in Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol, and fungal cultures were grown at 35 ± 2° C for 24 hours. Three isolated colonies were randomly selected from each individual plaque for identification using the API20 AUX Biomerieux® method. ResultsThe most frequent fungal species in samples from children not exposed to HIV, exposed to HIV, and AIDS carriers was Candida albicans (48.80%, 25.64%, and 58.13%, respectively). Species of Candida non-albicans were also isolated from all groups studied. ConclusionsDespite the higher prevalence of Candida albicans in these groups, non-albicans species represented a significant percentage of Candida isolates.

Background Children continue to suffer from the impact of the human immunodeficiency virus‐acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) pandemic. In Cape Town, these children receive medical care including antiretroviral therapy from facilities like Tygerberg Hospital's Paediatric Infectious Diseases Clinic. HIV‐infected children may experience an increased caries experience when compared with their healthy peers. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the oral health status of HIV‐infected children younger than 12 years receiving antiviral drugs at the Paediatric Infectious Diseases Clinic. Design A cross‐sectional survey was conducted among children aged between 2 and 12 years presenting at this clinic. Caregivers were interviewed to obtain information regarding health seeking behaviour, oral hygiene practices and dietary habits. A single clinician undertook a standardized clinical intraoral examination according to the World Health Organization guidelines, with modifications. Results Sixty‐six children were recruited. A high prevalence of dental caries (78.8%) and an unmet treatment need of 90.4% were recorded among the participants. Most children had never visited the dentist, and those who did had mainly received emergency dental care. Conclusion The high prevalence of severe dental caries in this population highlights the need for oral health awareness and the inclusion of oral health care in the comprehensive care of children with HIV. Why this paper is important to paediatric dentists The study highlights the importance of collaborating with health professions outside of dentistry. Doctors and nurses are often the first health professionals to come into contact with children with special needs. They should therefore be made aware of the early signs of decay so that these patients can be referred for dental treatment timeously. Holistic management of children with special healthcare needs is essential to improve their overall well‐being.

OralCandidacolonization and its relation with predisposing factors in HIV-infected children and their uninfected siblings in Brazil: the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy

Abstract: The HIV infected children had a significantly higher prevalence of oral Candida spp. compared to their uninfected siblings. Absence of HAART and presence of dentinal carious teeth increased significantly Candida spp. colonization in these children.
