TB

Syphillis

22
Q

How do TB oral lesions seen in HIV present?

A

Painful superficial lingual ulcer
-> circumscribed
-> crateriform aspect
-> Elevated
-> Indurated

23
Q

How do secondary syphillis oral lesions seen in HIV present?

A

Mucous patched
-> raised plaques
-> erythematous base
-> serpentine white/redish outline

24
Q

What conditions affecting the periodontium is HIV associated with?

A

Linear gingival erythema- distinct band around margin (does not respond to perio tx)

Necrotising gingivitis, periodontitis, stomatitis

25
Q

How do mouth ulcers in HIV present?

A

Start off aphthous like- can be come necrotising stomatitis

Range in size

Persistent

Painful

Frequency increases with HIV progression

26
Q

What issues can HIV cause in salivary glands?

A

Bilateral parotid enlargement
-> increased on HAART

Xerostomia- HIV related medication
-> caries

How is Kaposi sarcoma diagnosed?

A

Biopsy and pathology assessment

29
Q

How does NHL appear clinically?

A
  • Rapidly enlarging necrotic masses
  • Ulcerated or nonulcerated masses
  • Palate and gingivae most common sites

-> Prognosis is very poor

30
Q

How is NHL diagnosed?

Biopsy and histological evaluation

31
