Abstract
Oral Manifestations of immune suppression may take the form of opportunistic infection, and neoplasia. While this case has focused on gingival manifestations, these tissues cannot be evaluated in isolation. The presence of involvement of other oral tissues such as the cheek or tongue with manifestations associated with HIV such as hairy leukoplakia, Kaposi’s sarcoma at these sites, and candidiasis in addition to periodontal manifestations may further increase the clinical suspicion of underlying immunesuppression and progression of the immunosuppressive state.
Keywords: Child, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Oral manifestations.
