Clinical Case 31 - ANSWER

What is your diagnosis for this case ?




ANSWER
This HIV-positive patient presented with signs of advanced oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) on the lateral border of his tongue. Being that HIV reduces immunologic activity, the intraoral environment is a prime target for chronic secondary infections and inflammatory processes, including OHL, which is due to the Epstein-Barr virus under immunosuppressed conditions.
