摘要: Purpose: This project studied the prevalence of oral soft tissue disease in HIV-infected children treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods: Thirty-eight participated study. Twenty-three these patients were HAART while 14 received exclusively reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTI) and served as controls. The examined three times at approximately one-month intervals their health history laboratory data abstracted from medical charts. Analyses performed to determine differences lesion between treatment groups well no regard immune differences. Results: Thirty (79%) had lesions detected least one visit. There specific compared RTI-treated children. However, a trend for more candidiasis latter group was observed. Subjects lower CD4 counts (P=0.04) percentages (P=0.01) but similar viral loads when without disease. Conclusions: does not appear significantly affect Presence associated decreased immunity may signal advancing disease.(Pediatr Dent 22:287-291, 2000)
