Abstract: | Oral lesions cause considerable morbidity in association with HIV infection. Their successful management depends upon accurate diagnosis and the use of appropriate therapy. Various treatment approaches are described for some of the common oral lesions including Kaposi's sarcoma, oral candidiasis, hairy leukoplakia and recurrent oral ulcers associated with HIV disease. This paper will discuss the therapies available in the USA and UK. In other countries some of the drugs discussed will be available in different doses and preparations. In addition other drugs may be available in other parts of the world that are not licensed for use in the USA or UK, and their availability may vary. |
