Oral hairy leukoplakia is a white thickening or coating of the lining of the mouth. It looks like white vertical folds or ridges. These ridges are almost always located on the sides of the tongue, although sometimes they can be found under the tongue or on the inside of the cheek. Oral hairy leukoplakia may look like oral candidiasis (thrush). Thrush can be scraped off. The white ridges of oral hairy leukoplakia do not scape off. Oral hairy leukoplakia occurs in people who have HIV and who have moderate to severe immune system damage. What do I look for?

Extractions: Hairy leukoplakia is a condition thought to be caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpes virus family which is commonly found in the mouth. It was originally thought that hairy leukoplakia only ever occurred in people with HIV but there have since been cases in other people with suppressed immune systems such as organ transplant recipients. It is not dangerous in itself, and can occur relatively early in the course of HIV infection as one of the first symptoms a person may have. However, it is a sign that the immune system is weakening and that the person may be at increased risk of other, more serious infections in the coming months. It causes irregular white patches on the side of the tongue and occasionally elsewhere on the tongue or in the mouth. The patches look corrugated or folded in appearance with tiny hair-like protrusions running along the folds; these can be seen best when the tongue is stuck out and stretched to one side.

Extractions: What is it? OHL can look like thrush , another common problem characterized by white patches that can develop in the mouths of HIV-positive people. However, thrush usually comes off when it is lightly scraped with a toothbrush, whereas OHL does not. OHL is often one of the first opportunistic infections to occur in HIV-positive people. It can occur at any T-cell count. HIV-positive people with more than 500 T-cells have developed OHL, but it is most common among HIV-positive people with fewer than 200 T-cells. It is also important to note that OHL can occur in people with healthy immune systems, including those not infected with HIV. It is considered to be a benign disease, meaning that it rarely causes serious physical problems and does not progress to more serious complications. OHL is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Most people in the world are infected with EBV. Only in some people, including those with compromised immune systems, does it cause disease. More than 25% of HIV-positive people develop OHL at some point during the course of their infection. It is most common among HIV-positive men and smokers.

Occasionally, leukoplakia patches develop on the female external genitalia. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Leukoplakia is primarily a disorder of the mucous membranes of the mouth, caused by irritation. Lesions usually develop on the tongue, but they may also appear on the insides of the cheek. Irritation may result from rough teeth or rough places on dentures, fillings, and crowns. It may also result from smoking or other tobacco use (smoker's keratosis). Pipe smoking involves a high risk for development of leukoplakia, as does holding chewing tobacco or snuff in the mouth for a prolonged period of time. Leukoplakia patches may develop on the female external genital area, but the cause is unknown.
