For this we studied the database of the AIDS Center and we explored a certain group of patients with oral manifestations and carried out according to the dental examination. The results are: In 2016 totally were found out 719 new cases of HIV infections in a various stages: 11 (1,53%±8,02%) were Acute stage,130 (18.08%±2.12%) -Asymptomatic stage, 361 (50,21%±0.996%) – Symptomatic Non-AIDS, 214 (29,76%±1.54%) –AIDS, just 3 (0,42%15,4%) – NonAIDS/unknown state. Among of them HIV-associated oral manifestations were found in 245 (34.07%1.39%) patients. We investigated 125 (51,02%0,97%) cases and as a result: 69 (55.2%0.9%) were oral candidiasis, 37 25,52%1,71%)manifestati ons were caused by herpes-vi rus. 9 (6,21%±3,89%) of them were oral hairy leukoplakia, 8 (5,52%±4,13%) - gingivitis and periodontitis, Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma - just 1 (0,14%±26,7%) case and Kaposi’s Sarcoma also 1 (0,14%±26,7%) in the year.

Atypical Acute Retroviral Syndrome Presenting as a Facial Palsy

Acute retroviral syndrome (ARS) refers to signs and symptoms present during acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Historically, ARS has been characterized as a mononucleosis-like illness. However, ARS may present with typical (i.e., mononucleosis-like) or atypical signs and symptoms. Here, we review typical and atypical ARS and discuss a 30-year-old man who first presented with a facial palsy and returned 2 years later with oral hairy leukoplakia, at which time he was found to have HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We suggest that facial palsies should pique clinical suspicion for HIV, especially in the context of recent or concurrent flu- or mononucleosis-like illness.
