“…Dental practitioners will be seeing more chronically infected patients and will be asked to perform more dental treatment on these patients than in the past. Oral manifestations of HIV infection may be the first signs of the disease, and the presence of progression of some lesions, such as candidiasis, necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis, and hairy leukoplakia may be used as important markers for diseas staging and progression (2 There are many excellent textbooks (4,42) and papers (28,29,30) which document the many oral manifestations of HIV infection. Rather than describe in detail the clinical appearance of all of the possible oral manifestations of immunocompromised patients, this paper will briefly describe some of the more common oral manifestations of HIV infection and their treatment with lasers.…”

“…They discuss laser as a palliative treatment for KS. Other papers (25,29,30) have also discussed laser treatment as an effective palliative treatment for KS. Acyclovir can cause nausea, diarrhea and headaches; foscarnet can impair kidney function, cause or exarcebate anemia and thrombocytopenia and may also exarcebate the oral ulcers, rather than heal them.…”

Many oral manifestations of HIV infection can be used as markers for degree of immunosupression. These manifestations may be treated with antibiotics, analgesics, and antineoplastics, which may interact and interfere with antiviral agents used to treat the disease, and possibly exarcebate it. Dentists will see more HIV-infected patients as medical research transforms this disease into a chronic illness. Lasers have been shown to be effective instruments in palliation of oral manifestations of HIV infection. The use of lasers to palliate the painful symptoms of three oral manifestations of HIV infection is described. The advantages and benefits to both patient and dentist will be discussed. The paper does not address the use of lasers as a modality to treat or cure HIV infection -only to palliate some of its symptoms.

“…Etiologic causes such as neo plasias, drugs and infectious pathogens are rarely found. However, diagnosis for idio pathic HIV-asssociated ulcer should be considered only after negative biopsy and negative cultures for herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, bacteria, fungi and myco bacteria have been obtained (2].…”

“…Our group described for the first time an oral manifestation of disseminated Mycobacterium kansasii infection in a patient with AIDS [23]. The most common EBV-related lesion in AIDS is oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) [20]. OHL is an important marker for HIV infection and was initially considered as specific for HIV infection.…”

The panendemic of HIV has markedly influenced the dermatology of our generation. This new infection produced atypical manifestations of known dermatological diseases. And beyond that, mucocutaneous diseases emerged, which had not yet been described. Classical epidemiological studies concluded that clustering of AIDS cases could be explained only if AIDS was an infection transmitted by sexual activity or blood. Switzerland was hit early on by the HIV epidemic, and Theo Rufli, the leading expert on sexually transmitted diseases in our country, was involved from the beginning. He contributed with his team to a better delineation of the cutaneous manifestations of HIV infection by directing one of the largest prospective studies on the natural course of cutaneous manifestations of HIV. In addition, he participated in studies which documented new skin diseases in HIV-infected patients. From the very beginning of the epidemic in Switzerland, Theo Rufli founded an organization which helped patients cope with their diagnosis. In Basel, an anonymous consultation facility was established. Theo Rufli also strongly supported the ‘Stop AIDS’ campaign. This review looks back on the history of HIV in Switzerland and especially in Basel.
