Extractions: Background This interesting disease is found primarily in patients with a severe immunodeficiency such as in patients with AIDS. It presents with flat to hairy white lesions on the lateral or ventral borders of the tounge. It is asymptomatic and related to a patient's immune status. EPIDEMIOLOGY CHARACTERIZATION INCIDENCE 20% of asymptomatic HIV infected patients Detection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and antigens in oral mucosa of renal transplant patients without clinical evidence of oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). Ammatuna P, Capone F, Giambelluca D, Pizzo I, D'Alia G, Margiotta V. Department of Hygiene and Microbiology, University of Palermo, Italy. J Oral Pathol Med 1998 Oct;27(9):420-7 Abstract quote The use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in oral mucosa in the absence of specific lesions gives rise to the problem of identifying the real viral replication sites. Hybridization with the EBV-specific probe was observed in 40/ 89 and 2/13 samples, respectively. Latent antigens (with or without lytic antigens) were detected in only 23 of the 40 samples (collected from eight different transplant patients) that were positive by in situ hybridization. Our data show that EBV is more frequently present in the oral mucosa of immunodeficient patients (where it can efficiently replicate) than in normal subjects.

Extractions: Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) has been associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The clinical significance of OHL in otherwise healthy, asymptomatic individuals is that it can be an early manifestation of HIV infection. One report (Torres et al.) suggested that the incidence of OHL is significantly higher for males than for females. Lozada-Nur et al. treated 10 HL patients with one application of topical podophyllin resin. All patients responded within 4 to 5 days of treatment. Period of clinical remission ranged from 2 to 28 weeks. Investigators have noted that oral high-dose acyclovir (> 3 grams/day) can reduce or eliminate lesions. REFERENCES:

We describe two patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection and oral hairy leukoplakia whose tongue lesions resolved on oral zidovudine therapy. During therapy, each patient had a measurable reduction in human immunodeficiency virus antigen corresponding with clinical regression of oral lesions. The clinical course suggests that zidovudine may have

Recent cross-sectional studies have suggested that oral candidosis and hairy leukoplakia could be considered as clinical markers of high viral load levels and CD4 cell depletion in HIV infection . However, until now, this association has not been documented in a prospective longitudinal study. Therefore, the aim of this cohort study was to determine the association of the occurrence of oral candidosis and hairy leukoplakia with HIV-RNA plasma levels and CD4 T cell counts in Mexican HIV-infected individuals.

Extractions: treating thrush, fungal infections, and even hairy leukoplakia. We interviewed two persons with ARC who have used it; both are known personally to this writer. We have not heard of any others with HIV who have used propolis. But the results for these two were dramatic enough to suggest that this treatment might be useful for others. Propolis, a waxy, resinous substance gathered by bees from buds of trees and used as a cement in the hive, has been scientifically studied as an antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral treatment in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China. But U.S. medicine has ignored propolis so completely that the word does not even appear in any of the three major medical dictionaries in common use. Health-food stores have long carried propolis, both in its raw form and in tinctures and capsules. The published work on propolis, mostly from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, consists of highly technical laboratory studies, along with largely anecdotal clinical reports, usually of treatment for infections. Apparently there has not been a major effort to prove the effectiveness of propolis with controlled clinical trials, as is done with new drug products from Western pharmaceutical companies. Such trials would be expensive, and it is hard to see a motive for them in countries where physicians and lay persons alike already use the treatment as part of traditional practice. Nor would a U.S. pharmaceutical company be likely to spend the millions of dollars required to gain marketing approval under our system of medicine, for a product already cheaply available through the health-products industry. So propolis simply dropped out of the U.S. medical system. Only the patients might have cared, and they have had no voice for systematic research or advocacy on such matters.
