Abstract
A-65-year-old male presented with a complaint of repeated stomatitis, for which he had been referred to us by a family dentist. During the initial examination, a number of intraoral aphthae were found, but no pseudo-membrane formation was observed. As a bacterial culture test returned a positive result for candida, an antifungal medication was applied. However, the symptoms reoccurred. Because pudendal ulcer had also been found, the patient was referred to internal medicine for diagnosis, and an HIV infection was discovered. After this, Antiretrovial therapy was initiated. At present, the patient’s oral symptoms have improved, and follow-up observations are ongoing.
