Abstract
Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, recognized as an AIDS-defining illness since the Center for Disease Control's revision criteria in 1985. This infection is reported to be present in 5-20% of AIDS patients, and in 95% of the cases it is manifested in its disseminated form. Serum antibodies and/or antigen research can make diagnosis, but the demonstration of the agent by culture or histopathological examination remains the gold standard methods. Co-infections in patients with AIDS are well known; however, reports on disseminated tuberculosis and histoplasmosis are scarce. The authors report the case of a female patient who presented a short-course history of weight loss, fever, and mild respiratory symptoms, with hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. Laboratory workup called attention to anemia, altered liver, canalicular enzymes, liver function tests, high titer of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and pulmonary nodules on thoracic computed tomography. Incidental finding of yeast forms within the leukocytes during a routine blood cell count highlighted the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. The patient started receiving amphotericin B but succumbed soon after. The authors emphasize the possibility of this co-infection, the diagnosis of severe infection through the finding of yeast forms within peripheral leukocytes, and for the high titer of LDH in aiding the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study describes the involvement and the histological alterations found in the tongues of 92 autopsied patients who died with AIDS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sex, age, CD4 cell count and clinical history were obtained from the files of 92 patients who died with AIDS. All the tongues were examined for macroscopical alterations and stained using H&E, Gomori-Grocott, Ziehl-Neelsen, PAS, Brow-Hopps and Mucicarmine. Histological autopsy findings were grouped based on a protocol that was designed following the World Health Organization recommendations. RESULTS The mean age of the patients who died of AIDS and CD4 cell count were 36 years and 82 cells microL(-1), respectively. Histological alterations of the tongues were found in 75% of the cadavers. The most common lesions were hairy leukoplakia (HL) (42 cases), candidosis (31 cases) and non-specific chronic glossitis (29 cases), followed by concomitant lesions (28 cases), non-specific chronic ulceration (17 cases), melanotic pigmentation (13 cases), herpes simplex (10 cases), lymphoepithelial cysts (two cases), cryptococcosis (two cases), mycobacteriosis (one case), histoplasmosis (one case), cytomegalovirus infection (one case) and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (one case). HL with oral candidosis (n = 13) were the most common concomitant lesions. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that the tongue is a favorite site to occurrence of reactive, infectious and concurrent lesions in the end-stage of AIDS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We report 10 cases of histoplasmosis with oral manifestations seen in a teaching hospital in Brazil. STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective study of the sociodemographic, clinicopathologic, and treatment data of these cases. RESULTS Overall, 8 of 10 cases were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), whereas 2 were negative. The predominant oral manifestations found in HIV-seropositive patients were ulcers, oral pain, and odynophagia; both of the HIV-seronegative patients were symptom-free. HIV infection was suspected in 7 cases because of the presence of oral lesions of histoplasmosis. Asthenia, fever, weight loss, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly were found only in HIV-seropositive patients. Radiographs in 3 out of 10 patients suggested pulmonary involvement. Amphotericin B was the antifungal therapy chosen, and clinical remission of oral lesions occurred in an average of 30 days (accumulated doses: 500-1500 mg). Itraconazole was very effective as a follow-up treatment in terms of prevention of recurrence. CONCLUSION Histoplasmosis only rarely affects HIV-seronegative patients; however, the possibility of hidden immunodepression should be considered when oral manifestations of histoplasmosis are present.

Abstract
Histoplasmosis as a serious opportunistic infection in association with AIDS has assumed considerable importance. We have gathered 20 case reports from the literature of oral histoplasmosis in HIV-infected patients. In some cases, oral lesions appear to be the primary or only manifestation of disease. We report one such case of oral histoplasmosis in a bisexual man who was seen with ulcerations on the palate and proved to be infected by HIV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Histoplasmosis is a deep mycosis which is increasingly seen in HIV disease. It has emerged as a relatively common infection in Argentina, mainly in HIV-infected and other immunocompromised persons, and is often disseminated (DH). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe 32 HIV-I-seropositive patients with AIDS who had DH, 21 of whom presented orofacial manifestations, and their treatment. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A retrospective study of 876 HIV-seropositive patients revealed 32 with a clinical diagnosis of DH confirmed by special stains on histopathologic specimens, or by culture. RESULTS Thirty-two HIV-infected patients had DH. Two-thirds (21 patients) had oral lesions of histoplasmosis, of which six presented with oral cavity (OC) lesions as the sole orofacial manifestation of disease, nine patients presented oral and facial (OF) lesions and six presented facial lesions only. A unique case of submandibular histoplasmosis is also reported. Antifungal therapy cleared more than 90% of the orofacial and disseminated lesions of histoplasmosis. Over the 7-year period there was a mortality of 85%. CONCLUSION DH should be considered as a possible diagnosis in HIV patients with chronic ulcerative or nodular orofacial or oral lesions. Itraconazole is an effective and acceptable therapy.

Abstract
Opportunistic fungal infections account for a significant amount of morbidity associated with HIV disease. We report here a case of localised oral histoplasmosis without evidence of disseminated disease in a patient who lacked stigmata of HIV disease at the time of initial presentation. The diagnosis is based on histology with special stains, complement fixing antibodies in serum, and culture of the organism from fresh tissues. Activation of subclinical disease following an infection in Uganda may explain the development of these exophytic oral lesions in this British resident.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of oral lesions present in Thai people with AIDS and to determine whether gender influences the occurrence of oral lesions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Extra- and intra-oral examinations were performed on 124 AIDS patients (90 men, aged 19-62 years, median 30 years; and 34 women, aged 19-41 years, median 28 years). RESULTS Oral lesions were found in 102 patients (82%). Pseudomembranous candidiasis was the most common lesions, (n = 67; 54%) followed by erythematous candidiasis (n = 31; 25%), and hairy leukoplakia (n = 16; 13%). Other lesions were atypical ulcers (n = 14; 11%), periodontal disease (n = 9; 7%), angular cheilitis (n = 8; 6%), and infection with herpes simplex virus (n = 6; 5%). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was the only detected neoplasm (n = 5; 4%). Other lesions caused by fungi were histoplasmosis (n = 5; 4%) and penicilliosis (n = 2; 2%). Xerostomia was also found to be a common condition (n = 79; 63%). Most patients had a total number of lymphocytes of less than 1000 cell mm-3 (n = 85; 68%). CONCLUSIONS The types of oral lesions observed in AIDS patients in Thailand show some similarities with studies from other countries. The prevalence of oral lesions did not appear to be influenced by gender.

Abstract
The deep mycoses are uncommon infections, usually acquired from the inhalation or ingestion of fungal spores, sometimes from the soil in areas of endemicity, such as in the Americas and south-east Asia, or from decaying vegetable matter. They are also seen in immunocompromised persons and, increasingly, in HIV-infected persons. Respiratory involvement is frequent, with granuloma formation, and mucocutaneous involvement may be seen. Oral lesions of the deep mycoses are typically chronic but non-specific, though nodular or ulcerative appearances are common. Person-to-person transmission is rare. In HIV disease, the most common orofacial involvement of deep mycoses has been in histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, aspergillosis and zygomycosis. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by lesional biopsy although culture may also be valuable. Treatment is with amphotericin or an azole.

Abstract
This article includes the oral manifestations which have been reported to be associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The clinical appearance, diagnostic criteria and treatment of fungal, viral and bacterial infections, neoplasms and lesions of uncertain etiology are described. Accurate diagnosis of the oral lesions is important in the management of patients infected with HIV. Identification of oral lesions may suggest the need for HIV testing or may be an indicator for preventive intervention. Early identification, diagnosis and treatment may prevent extensive tissue destruction and may improve the quality of life for HIV-infected patients.

Abstract
Histoplasma capsulatum histoplasmosis occurs frequently in endemic areas and with the AIDS outbreak, it appears as an opportunistic fungus involved in disseminated disease. We report the clinical, biological and treatment features of seven cases diagnosed in the CISIH of the Eastern part of Paris. Clinically, four patients were suffering from pulmonary symptoms, in three cases digestive disorders and in three cutaneous lesions. In all cases, the mycologic diagnosis was necessary. Amphotericin B and itraconazole were used as treatment for five patients (two died before the diagnosis was completed). Among these five subjects, four died (death was attributed to histoplasmosis in only one case). These observations emphasize the importance of this infection in HIV-infected patients coming from endemic areas.

Abstract
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by the organism Histoplasma capsulatum. Disseminated disease usually occurs in immunosuppressed patients or in patients with chronic illnesses. Although relatively uncommon, histoplasmosis has been reported in patients with AIDS, and oral lesions have been noted on multiple sites and in various clinical presentations. We present two HIV-positive cases with oral lesions as the initial signs of histoplasmosis. Both patients responded well to IV amphotericin B but later suffered recurrences despite being maintained on systemic antifungal therapy.

Abstract
Histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis are serious opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS who reside in areas of endemicity of the United States and Central and South America. Blastomycosis, although less common, also must be recognized as an opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. Prompt diagnosis requires knowledge of the clinical syndromes and diagnostic tests as well as a high index of suspicion. Histoplasmosis and blastomycosis respond well to antifungal treatment, but relapse is common without chronic suppressive therapy. Improvements in treatment are needed in coccidioidomycosis. Research is needed to identify preventive strategies for patients at risk. These strategies may include use of prophylactic antifungal therapy or vaccination.

Abstract
Histoplasmosis is a frequent complication of HIV infection and is usually the result of reactivation. In the immunocompromised host, histoplasmosis may cause a chronic pulmonary infection or disseminated disease. In the setting of disseminated disease, oral lesions are present in 30% to 50% of patients and may occur in almost every part of the oral mucosa. The most common sites are the tongue, palate, and buccal mucosa. In some cases, oral lesions appear to be the primary or only manifestation of disease. We have been able to find only five case reports in the literature of histoplasmosis in HIV infection with oral lesions. In two of the cases, histoplasmosis was apparently localized to the oral cavity, whereas two cases also had evidence of disseminated disease, the fifth was undetermined. We report one such case of apparently localized oral histoplasmosis in a patient with HIV infection.

Abstract
Oral histoplasmosis in a 30-year-old male with no history of travel outside India is described. An ulcerating lesion was located on the hard palate. A chest X-ray was normal. Based on physical examination, regional lymph nodes, liver and spleen were not involved. The diagnosis was established by demonstrating yeast-like budding cells in a biopsy of the lesion and by isolating Histoplasma capsulatum in pure culture. The identity of the isolate was confirmed by a chemiluminescent DNA-probe assay and the exoantigen test. A review of the Indian literature from 1968 to 1992 revealed the occurrence of 25 authentic cases of histoplasmosis in India. In 19 cases, lesions were confined to the oral cavity confirming prior observation that histoplasmosis in Indian patients tends to occur primarily in extrapulmonary sites, particularly the oral cavity.

Abstract
Oral lesions have been observed since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. The number of HIV-infected patients is still increasing, especially in the heterosexual population. Oral diseases in HIV-infected patients are often more difficult to diagnose because the clinical presentations may differ from the same diseases in HIV-negative patients. HIV-associated oral lesions have diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic impact. Approximately 10% of the HIV-infected population will have oral manifestations as a first sign of their disease. In HIV-infected men oral hairy leukoplakia and oral candidiasis are useful markers for disease progression. This article summarizes the oral manifestations and the management of oral health in persons with HIV infection.
