Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hairy leukoplakia was first described in association with HIV infection. Today hairy leukoplakia has come to represent a sign of immunosuppression and not just of HIV infection. Although molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated, Epstein-Barr virus appears to play a significant role in its etiopathogenesis. We present four cases that illustrate that HL may be seen in non-HIV and nonimmunocompromised patients. The use of high potency topical steroids for the treatment of oral vesiculoerosive diseases seems to have been a contributing factor in two of these cases. |
